Let’s take a look at what a Refilled Laser Cartridge is?
A refilled laser cartridge is basically a cartridge where only the powder is replaced. Data suggest that 50% of this refilled toner cartridges are prompt to mid cycle failure, and this is due to the rough opening and closing of those cartridges, in an attempt to refill them with fresh powder.
The most hazard of mid cycle failure is the leak of those cartridges, inside or outside the printer. And most business owners are unaware of the dangers of a leaked laser toner.
The International Agency of Cancer Research has explained how the powder of the toner is classified as a carcinogenic dust, if you’re exposed to it for a long period.
Another research shows that this powder is made of fine plastic like material that can have dangerous effects on your respiratory tract and it can cause infection.
You can also find some videos on Youtube, that suggest you to buy a toner refill kit, to refill your cartridge, at your house or office. It’s not safe at all! Even when the technician of your printer, comes to your office to refill the cartridge, expose you to those fine dangerous particles of the powder. It’s absolutely damaging for your health.
Obviously the choice is yours: you have to choose if you want your cartridges to be refilled. But never forget that this process can lead to mid cycle failure, with toner powder leaks. You make the decision to refill it, or to rely on an Indian made compatible cartridge.
