looking for input regarding mpc2503 series

[fshead]

hi.
I am looking at picking up a few mpc2503 to resell as my source for low meter mpc3002 and mpc3003
has come up empty..
are these close to the mpc3003/mpc3503 series outside of speed?
Any major issues or are they good in a 5k to 10k month setting?
thanks

Hi there!
This models of the METIS-range are not as good as the higher models. Some are duplicating (there´s a RTB, but it helps not much), the developers and the drums last not long. Other toner, developer and no wax-bars in the pcu.

thanks..'how are the fuser units?
As i remember the mpc2050 drums had no lub bar and they lasted over the rated life..
If I had my way i would like to stay with low meter c3002 and c3003 but sometimes
i just need a machine to place..

I agree, the 2003/2503 drum & devs rarey hit pm life (60/120k)

All other parts are fine, fuser, ITB etc.

I’d wait for a few 3003’s to become available.

However 5/10k per month should be fine.

If you dont change PCU at PM life they spit toner out everywhere. Quality is not as good as 3003.

just out of curiosity,has anyone tried to pull apart drum units and "mod" the main charge roller like on the mpc2800/c3300
series drums???
