This office had the wrong toner cartridge in their printer. Unbelievably, someone in the office managed to fit a TN-580 cartridge into a DR-620 which is meant for a TN-620 or TN-650 cartridge. Using the wrong formulation in their printer, caused the fuser to disintegrate. Fortunately, we were able to source a replacement fuser, installed it and the printer was back up and running as good as new.

End Users, previously happy with remanufactured cartridges, find that they can only use original cartridges after accepting an upgrade. Samsung changes the printer to make the printer not accept the aftermarket cartridge and chip.
Most of the problems arise in Epson printers. They have a tank style cartridge and the printhead is in the printer. Canon, new HP’s and Lexmark’s and Brother printers have printhead printers as well.
Failure to calibrate after cartridge installation, can result in light print or over saturated dark print caused by colours not properly matched. Dumping can be caused by over saturation or over development of toner.

Recently, we have seen some very colourful and worn drums from the colour cartridges of HP 1215, 1515, CP2025 and other models that take the CB540 series or CC530 series of cartridges. This occurs from regularly printing black only documents.
