How to Replace Developer and Developer Unit on Konica Minolta c1070 and Other Digital Presses

[@miketheprintman]

Single handily putting KM techs out of business! Keep with the great videos, Dan.

[@justaprinter]

I kind of feel bad about that. I miss seeing my technicians, they are great guys!

[@miketheprintman]

@@justaprinter Sometimes I actually like when my machines break down so I can BS a bit with the techs. It's always nice to hear how other shops around the area are doing too. Those guys have a good pulse for what's going on in the industry.

[@justaprinter]

@@miketheprintman Thats the truth. I'm crossing my fingers that something on my 3070 breaks so I can see a tech. LOL!

[@Tippy2987]

I manage a College Print shop, and KM in my area have very few techs and too many calls. I've had to improvise. And Dan's videos have been very helpful. I just wish I had developer on hand to do this. :/ I finally received my magenta ink after a month and a half wait. Luckily I had 3070 bottles, but I had to transfer to the 3080 bottles via funnel. The bottles literally have an inch difference in length so they weren't directly compatible. Both my 3070L and 3080 printers are currently down. I just have my 6120s and 951.

[@chrisbarton1517]

@@Tippy2987 Hmmmm, that's not right. Both my 3070 and 3080 use TN619 toner. Same bottle.

👋🏻 Hey Dan, I recently found your channel, can't wait to watch more videos. I run a small print shop in Ontario, Canada. Mostly flatbed printing signs but I bought a production press not that long ago and working on building a bindery to get that side of the business up and running! Thank you or the excellent content!

[@justaprinter]

Awesome! Glad you like the videos!

[@MJPercy]

I work at a school in the U.K. as a reprographics technician. I have a Sharp MX7090N and it’s really good 😃. I love watching your videos!

[@justaprinter]

Awesome, I love hearing from people all over the world. Stay in touch! Cool, I didn't even know Sharp made production printers.

[@MJPercy]

@@justaprinter One thing I wish I knew how to do is to make double-sided cards (like business cards), without having to line it up manually on MS Word! One day it'll line up okay, the next it'll be completely out. Is this even possible on a machine like mine?

[@justaprinter]

@@MJPercy Sure, make sure you paper is the same length, that can throw off your front to back registration. My 1070 is pretty consistent, my 3070 is even better yet.

[@MJPercy]

@@justaprinterIt's exactly the same paper. I've done a small amount of research and can't find anything about front to back registering on Sharp machines. I'm thinking this is why I am unable to do it?

[@MJPercy]

Ignore that! I've found it!! I have no idea what any of it means though, so will have to look into it.

[@weizhang7870]

Hello Dan, what do you think of Océ VP135? I have a Konica Minolta 1200 black printing press. Because of the high cost of use, I plan to replace this machine.

[@justaprinter]

I don;t know much about Oce. A few years ago they flew me to their showroom in Florida, they had a lot of very impressive machines. I was looking at their Oce Varioprint machine that prints both sides at the same time without turning the sheet over, very cool tech! What are you paying to run your 1200? For Konica service I was paying 1/2 cent for each click. As I service it myself I am estimating that my costs will be half of that... so it would be $0.0025 per click.

[@aboodayesh456]

Hi Dan, I am having a problem with the dram that has small scratches. Should it be repaired in some way or should it be replaced with a new one? Machine number 951 black ، Please help, and thank you.🌹

You will need to replace that drum, it cannot be repaired.

[@MahmudNurK]

the step: clear counter, is only for new developer unit, or everytime you change the developer powder?

I think there is a counter for the unit and a separate counter for the powder.

Hi. Do u know how to replace bypass tray solenoid valve on konica 554e?

No, sorry

[@sidharth0096]

Hi I really like watching your content, its very useful and logical. We have a xerox versant 80 press about 4 years old. The print quality is ok on high coverage areas, but image starts printing grainy on less coverage areas. I was wondering if konica machines, just like any toner based digital press would do same or is just the xerox. And also, do konica presses have any option to print in glossy mode, because xerox toner prints matte only. Thanks. Would love to see more of your videos

[@justaprinter]

Yes, Konica machines can be set to print glossy or not. You can also achieve a less gloss look by lowering the fuser pressure. Unfortunately all toner machines slowly degrade over time and need constant maintenance. Something on your Versant needs to be replaced or adjusted.

[@sidharth0096]

hello please, can i use developer of C6000 into C3070L because one is cheaper then the other, is it the same quality or is there any difference ??

No, two different types of developer units. The 3070l have developer mixed in its toner and the c6000 is only toner.

How do you calibrate your rip?

[@justaprinter]

It depends on the RIP that you have, but there should be a button to calibrate the RIP. You would also need the correct USB spectrophotometer.

Actualy how many klik to change developing unit for c1070?

They are rated for over a million clicks, but you can put two or three times that through it.

KONICA C1070 error C-6801, how to fix it?

[@MrAmirmounir]

I am from Egypt and I follow all your videos and I will buy a c1070. I want your advice. Is the cost of the ink cheap or expensive, or not?

[@justaprinter]

I am currently a bit over 1 cent per click on toner/consumables. I have detailed spreadsheets on my patreon page that I am updating monthly on what consumables I purchase, if you want to see how I calculate it.

[@nollywood6637]

Is the developer the ink or the the unit

[@justaprinter]

Neither, the developer and toner are mixed together in the developer unit. Developer just caries the toner to the drum.

I used to have a C6500 and a C7000...both I ran "off contract" for several years. I'm disapointed to hear that every time you replace developer you have to replace the developer unit as well? That adds up! Does the developer have a longer life now? As I recall you used to be able to change developer several times at least before you had to replace a unit....

[@justaprinter]

Yes, both developer and developer unit should last 1 million clicks. I got almost 1.3 million on the black. I'm assuming that overall cost of ownership is less than the c6500. Time will tell.

[@chrisbarton1517]

@@justaprinter Hey, quick question if you don't mind. I have a low mileage 3070 coming in tomorrow. I had been thinking about getting the EF103 envelope fuser. I see your 1070 came with one. Have you tried it yet? Specifically I'm wondering if you have to run with the flaps open on #10's. Thanks! Chris

Good day sir... I wish I have your email address. I would have love to send you some samples for you to give me a clue on what could be wrong withy Konica Minolta c554. Sometimes when I print, especially first print of the day, I see yellow, magenta and sometimes cyan horizontal line colour of the paper. Then the biggest challenge is that if I print colour document especially the one that is most black dominant color, the black print doesn't come out well blended. The black looks dull and sometimes patches of some areas black and some areas gray. What confuses me is that the toner cartridge is full because I didn't even wait for it to finish and i refill it by adding the new toner to the old toner in the cartridge. I have Shaked the back toner cartridge to ensure the toner is not congested but yet no solution. The black keeps print patches of gray and a faded black. I don't know what should be the cause. There are some images I wish to upload for you so that you can help me out. I strongly believe that if I show you those print images you will get a clear view on it. But if you can't drop an email, you can help me out here with a hint based on my explanation.
