However, by the time the print head chamber is filled with ink from charging the first time the printer is used the consumer is not getting a full cartridge's worth of ink as part of the ink remains in the print head reservoir. -- Jan Alter |

My Samsung laser cartridge part# is specified for (approx. 1/3) lesser yield, although apart from toner volume I couldn't say how many units, if at all, beyond that would be assembled with parts (the blade and optics) capable of not providing a much longer duty cycle. They do have a fuse intended to blow at a specified "count" -- I haven't figured how that works (apart the workaround, which is simply to replace). A laser site in U.K. even provides instructions/materials for burning a hole (apparently -some- cartridges are self-contained and show no intent of being refilled). |

HALF FILLED cartridges in new printers?
As I know all manufacturers (HP, Epson, Canon, Samsung, Brother, etc) sell
printers with half filled cartridges. Not all models of course. Depends on the model, (some only in lasers, some only in inkjets). -- Yianni (Remove the number nine from my email address to send me email) "measekite" wrote in message ... 007 wrote: Is it a true that all new printers come with half filled cartridges?

Not all Canon printers come with full cartridges. There are some models
taking the pg40, cl41 which can accept the pg50 and cl51 (full). Also another series with inkjet cartridges too. -- Yianni (Remove the number nine from my email address to send me email) "DanG" wrote in message . .. "007" wrote in message ...

They did this with their LaserJet III and LaserJet 5L some fifteen to twenty years ago ..and seem to have continued doing so since. There may be a reason for it ..ie like an aircraft, the most dangerous time for a printer may be in first weeks when it's taking off ..burning in, as it were. Also encourages a quick uptake of expensive new OEM toner whilst the customer is still being careful... ) Of their latest two, the Colour LaserJet CP1515n has four OEM cartridges rated for only a nominal 750 pages of 'running in' toner; only around 35pc of the full capacity of HP's present 2200 nominal page counter cartridges for this printer. Mind, after my first five weeks of light home-printing there's still 78pc available in black, with 92pc in the three (CMY) colours which, with the onboard counter bypass enabing full use of all cartridges, isn't too displeasing. hh.. ) Bill ZFC -- Adoption InterLink UK with -=- http://www.billsimpson.com/ Domain Host Orpheus Internet -=- http://www.orpheusinternet.co.uk/ |
