Pls tell me the life time of the developer powder and do I have to use only original toner
Hi,
I have not come across any expiry date of toner/ developer and if it is stored properly in a cool dry place, away from sunlight an excessive heat, it works just fine.
Re-filling the toner is always cheaper and costs around 1/4th of the new toner price. So, check for the price of new toner and compare. Genuine toner is always better in terms quality and yield. However, refill can work too.
I have refilled/ refurbished toners myself and had no issues. Properly re-filled/ refurbished cartridge would NOT cause any damage to the printer. So, you may get your toner refilled by some good professional and it would work fine.
As for Panasonic Workio DP-4530 and similar copiers, the toner comes in a bottle (which is only a container filled with toner powder) and the toner powder is pulled by the toner supply unit of the copier. I am using HP 9065MFP and refilling caused no issues. I usually refill it after proper servicing and use best available powder and it works absolutely fine.
Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!
