Pan. DPC262 Color Secret

Panasonic realized what we were doing, that is why the latest series (266-406) uses same drums black and color, but more expensive.........

Hey Vesta Tech. Keep reading is post and i don't catch. What tab are you breaking off? Compared the black and color drum and i don't see. it.

If you look at the slot on the drum handle there is a hole that a bump stop peg goes into from the machine. Now if you have a few old black drums I recommend trying this on them first so you can get the feel for what needs to be done. The hole the bump stop from the machine goes into has a metal bracket inside it (for black drums). What you need to do it cut out the drum frame around the bracket to remove it so you can put that black drum into color drum slots. If you look at the color drum bump stops they are about 1/2 an inch long and will prevent the black drum from completely seating into the color drum slot correctly. I threw away all my old black drums, but the next time I get one I'll post up pics of exactly what I did.

On a side note even tho it does save you money, from what I was told by Pana engineers is that the blk drums and the color drums have a different electrical output to them. So this in turn will eventually cause your devs to shot out. The dev change process doesn't take much but if you haven't done one before its a pain in the ass.

i dunno if any1 else has thried this but the rainbow 1 series (262 322) black drums are cheaper than the rainbow 2 series (263 264 354) by a good margin however the rainbow 1 drum can be fitted to the rainbow 2 series


not tried it yet, but it came from a good source,
