Re-filling Xante Ilumina toner bottles

[Impressions]

The only difference is a color code keys. They sit in a different positions for OKI and for Xante.

Does having different positions of color code key affect anything when you put them in an Ilumina?

Yes. If nothing done beforehand, the machine will display "Toner sensor Error or Image Drum not installed" error message. These pins define the precise position of the drums within the printer which is essential for the toner sensor performance: if the drum is not in the precise place, then toner sensor reflector will not be straight against the optical pair thus failing to reflect the light properly and causing the error above. The resolution for this problem is to remove the plastic items which concatenates with these pins from the machine for every drum. This will enable to use both Xante and OKI drums without limitations. And also Xerox Phaser 7400 drums since they are of the same type and manufacturer.

Hi, I can say to you, refill is more cheaper than new, but the quality is not the same, under my personal experience don´t work to give high quality.

I run a small publishing house in the UK and we have been refilling our Xante Ilumina cartridges for some time. we use these guys and the refill is very easy - as is shown by their video. Just be careful when you refill as toner is dust and can be a little messy if your not careful..

Angela007, What is it costing you to refill your cartridges. I tried the website that you provided and could not get it to work. How is the quality?

I havent had any issues - more than happy with the quality. the costs is on the page - we are in the UK so we have to pay VAT on top @ 17.5%

this works out to be the cheapest though they do sell them seperatley.

Have refilled our cartridges a couple of times with toner from Laser Tek Services. You have to also buy the reset chip. I have found that the colored toner works well, but the black does not completely adhere to the sheet and leaves background scatter. I have decided to buy the genuine stuff for the black as the price is not enough of a difference to put up with the headache.
