Re-filling Xante Ilumina toner bottles

[lesnik]

Has anyone had experience re-filling Ilumina toner bottles? Seems much cheaper, but wonder if the quality remains the same.

Hai

In Ilumina Toner catridges are not refillable . It had RFID tag and levels of toner in each catridge is writing .
If you refilled the toner catridges ,the toner itself it cannot detect and it simply not comes to
READY.

We installed morethan 50 machines in UAE . somebody tried ,but it doesnt work .

you need to purchase original toners and use it.

with regards

Hi Skumar,
Do you mean "smart-chip" saying RFID?
Did anybody try SmartChip Resetter? (lesnik - that's my idea for you)

About a month ago we ordered a refill bottle of black toner from Laser Tek Services on Amazon. It came with a reset chip, so the machine reads it as a brand new cartridge. So for everything has been working great and we are about to order a 4 pack of the refill bottles. Be sure to take note that it says you should only refill the same cartridge 2-3 times.

That is quite strange to hear. Basically Xante Illumina is an equal to OKI C9600 printer (actually being produced on the OKI factories). And as such, this machine has the same type of toner cartridges - separated from drums (the only difference is the RFID smart-chips and color keys positions). And toner cartridges are just plastic boxes with basically nothing inside apart of the toner itself and therefore there can't be any limiter that would define the maximum refill rate. I have a customer who have refilled OKI toners for more than 100 times so far. Not going to stop though... Note that drums are not that long lasting. Their life is "just" 30k pages, which can be easily extended up to 60-70k (if you use normal office paper but not a cardstock), but then you'll have to buy the new ones. Which is not a big deal again as each one is around 130-140$. By the way - OKI drums are cheaper that Xante ones! So make sure you are not paying more than you should!

You are right about the toner cartridges, I thought about it after posting. And OKI drums work in the Ilumina? How much do those run?

And OKI drums work in the Ilumina?

Yes, OKI C9600/9650/9800/9850 drums are the same. The only difference is a color code keys. They sit in a different positions for OKI and for Xante. You can have a look at the picture of these keys:

(it says "pins" in russian on the image). There is the other type of OKI drum, but idea is just the same.

How much do those run?

I have pointed that out: 30 000 pages as a quoted life working on 80gsm paper, can be extended up to 60-70 000 pages by replacing the fuse inside the drum cartridge.
