"If you can fill a salt shaker, you can easily refill your own laser toner cartridge!"
This method of refilling your toner cartridge is very easy. Printer manufacturers including Brother, Samsung, & Konica Minolta have left the hopper cap on the outside of the toner cartridge. To refill remove the hopper cap, empty out the old toner and then pour in the new toner.
Examples of popular cartridges that use the "Unplug Empty and Refill" method:
- Konica Minolta Magicolor: 2400W, 2430, 2450, 2480MF, 2490MF, 2500W, 2530DL, 2550DN, 2590MF
- Brother: TN350, TN2000, TN6600, TN7600, HL2700, HL2400
- Lexmark: E120N, E230, E232, E240, E250, E330, E332, C510, C720
- Samsung: ML 1510, 1710, 1750, 4500, 4600
- Xerox Phaser: 6120N, 6115MFP
Other toner cartridges have a single screw standing between you and a removable toner cap. Removing the screw or screws will reveal the hopper cap and allow you to empty and refill. A lot of cartridges can be refilled using this same basic method although each cartridge model may have more than one screw to remove.

- Epson Aculaser: c900, c1000, c1900, c2000, c2600
- HP: 1500, 2500, 2550, 2820, 2840

- Samsung: SCX 4100, 4200, ML 1610, ML 2010, CLP 500, 550
- Lexmark: c500N, X500N, X502N
If your cartridge doesn’t have a removable hopper cap our "Melt & Pour" method is the best way to refill. Create a hole in your cartridge (in the correct place) and then refill the cartridge with toner.
Our melting tool is the easiest way of making a precise hole in your empty cartridge.Once you have created a hole, pour the toner in and seal with tape. Our starter kits for melt & pour cartridges have a backed, self-adhesive patch included.
Examples of popular cartridges that use the "Melt and Pour" method:
- Hewlett Packard (HP): 1018, 1020, 1160, 1300, 1320
- Samsung: CLP 300, CLX 2160 , CLX 3160
This method of refilling your laser cartridge is very simple.
Printer manufacturers including OKI & DELL use a toner tube rather than the standard conventional toner cartridge. To refill you simply "Twist, Empty & Refill"
Examples of popular cartridges that use the "Twist, Empty and Refill" method:
- Dell: 3000CN, 3010CN, 3100CN, 5100CN, 5110CN

Printer manufacturers sell printers pre-programmed to run the "Photoconductor Unit" up to a certain number of prints.
Once that count is reached the machine will "Lock Up" until you purchase a new Photoconductor (Drum) Unit.
If your machine was printing good copies when the "replace drum message" appeared you can use our reset chips/fuses to extend the life drum unit.
(Certain drum units also need the waste toner section to be emptied. Our instructions will show you how)
Popular Drum Units that can be easily be reset:
- HP: 1500, 2500, 2550, 2820, 2840
- Dell: 3000CN, 3010CN, 3100CN
- Epson: C1100, CX11N, CX11NF
Your cartridge might vary in exact detail from the examples above, but the principle will be the same.
