Toner Refill Kits – The FAQs

In the past years, users would throw away empty cartridges because these are deemed useless. Today however, users recycle empty cartridges to help the environment, save a few bucks, and attain OEM print results.

How to recycle? Simply refill the cartridge with toner. In order to do this, users must purchase a compatible toner refill kit for the empty cartridge. So for an empty Xante Ilumina CL30 black cartridge, compatible toner refill kit designed for Xante 200-100161 cartridges is recommended.

Follow the easy refill procedures that usually require opening a fill hole, discarding old toner powder, loading new toner, and closing the fill hole. The process takes approximately 10 minutes to perform.

Why savings can be gained? Toner refill kits are priced 80% less than OEM replacements. This is not because compatible toner powder is an inferior consumable but due to the contents of the refill package. The kit contains only the tools needed for a successful refill such as the toner bottle, latex gloves, toner wipes, funnel cap, and instruction manual.

The polymer and mechanical components of a toner cartridge often take up the bulk of its manufacturing cost. So with this component out of the picture, it can only be expected for refill products to be more affordable. The aftermarket toner refill kit for Xante Ilumina CL30 cartridges retails for only $65 while its OEM replacement sells at $130.

Can similar print quality results be achieved with a recycled cartridge? Compatible toner supplied with the kit has been engineered to match the performance of the OEM toner. Hence users can expect similar print quality and yield. With a refilled Xante 200-100161 cartridge, exceptional prints can be realized and a yield of 15,000 pages at 5% coverage.

In choosing to refill, you prolong the useful life of a cartridge and be benefited as well. Outstanding print quality and yield can be achieved with toner refill kits and just a few bucks to spend.
