How we did it, not how we imagine it could be done
Includes a continuous shoot of a member of our office staff doing the refill in conjunction with our C301dn printer.
Over 10,000 pages of our own production done with this technique and so many individual refills done that we lost count.
Complete demonstration of our tried and tested method. Applicable directly to Oki original cartridge codes 44973536, 44973535, 44973534, 44973533.
Carbon copy
You can use this video verbatim to refill the Oki C310dn, C330dn, C331dn, C510dn, C511, C530dn, C531, MC351dn, MC361dn and MC561dn. Although the actual U Refill Toner products used to refill this family are different to the ones needed for the 301dn family. That's to say, the chips are different between the two machine clusters. So is the weight of the black toner.
Consumer choice?
Unlike most laser printers that pass through our hands, we actively recommend the Oki C301dn as good for refilling in the business environment ... More
On the downside, we're deeply critical of Oki's relatively recent inclusion of lock-out chips in cartridges. In addition, they've dropped their traditional plug which, of course, used to facilitate an easy "unplug and pour" refill. Obviously, Oki are free to design their printers as they see fit. But equally, consumers are inclined to be pro-active and vociferous about their right to choose alternative supplies and re-use or re-cycle their own property. In essence, do you feel completely free to pursue alternatives to Oki original toners? Do you feel the scales have been tilted against you? Or do you feel the scales have been heaped on top of you with a forklift truck?
