Breakdown of toner cartridge parts There are 2 main components in a toner cartridge, one is the toner hopper and the other is the waste bin. Toner hopper: Magnetic Developer Roller – A cylindrical sleeve used to transfer image forming toner particles. The hollow cylinder is a non-magnetic material with a textured exterior surface. The interior contains a magnet producing a magnetic field to hold toner particles on the textured surface of the cylindrical sleeve. Doctor Blade – The Doctor Blade is a precise leveling blade which serves to keep toner on the Magnetic Developer Roller to a single layer. This is a critical component since any damage or maladjustment to the blade will produce a noticeable effect on the quality of the image. Sealing Blade – The Sealing Blade removes excess toner particles affixed to Magnetic Developer Roller as its outer surface rotates back into toner supply hopper and

When it comes to remanufactured cartridges in the printing industry many companies use different terminology and quality standards in remanufacturing their products. Below is the breakdown of the differences in the way toner cartridges are remanufactured.

In other words, any cartridge that has been produced using parts and material recovered from a previously used cartridge can earn the name recycled, regardless of the process or technology used. Refilled Toner Cartridges We use the term refilled to indicate the remanufacturing process that consists mainly of gaining access to the toner or ink container of a cartridge (either puncturing a hole or partially disassembling the cartridge)
