[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Recyclable Toner --> Ruins LW?

gross@umiami.ir.miami.edu (Mondo) (02/01/91)

(No one replied to this so I assume it didn't get anywhere....I'll try again)

We are currently using recyclable toner cartridges in our LaserWriter
IINTX's, and recently we have begun to experience numerous mechanical
failures of these printers.  The worst of it seems to be that the fuser
rollers get so badly damaged (ripped, torn, and/or melted) that we've
had to replace two so far.

Then I hear that the chemicals used in recycling toner cartridges can 
cause exactly this sort of damage.  What I need to know is if this a 
verifiable fact (like documented somewhere) and if there is a specific
chemical process which avoid or reduces the chance of this sort of
thing from happening.

Thanks....
