What small minds there are on this thread.
Wow, I'm not really sure how to respond to such anger.
As far as how much money I may, or may not have, you'll never know. An ignorant statement, period.
I believe there are about 85 people who have purchased my info and have been enjoying the savings. So yes, people DO care about my "drum fix", as you call it.
The reason it has taken me 10 months to reply is simply that I don't spend my time on line trying to impress others with my knowledge. I use my time to make money... not spend it searching threads. I just happened upon this one while looking for some other information and discovered how my idea was being trashed by those who haven't a clue as to what it is. But hey, if you're a "tech", then surely you know it all, right?
My intelligence, or lack thereof, is something you know nothing about, stick to the facts would you? My ego? Again, you know nothing of which you speak. A jerk? Okay, depending on the day I might give you that one. Ha! Ebay? Worthless? A laughable statement at the very least.
Now, I'll put my info out there in the public forum. I expect you to be man enough to write a sincere apology, posted in public.
Here you go.
FACT: ALL FOUR DRUMS ARE THE SAME.
STEP ONE: Take the drums out, set them on the table and tell me what you see that's different about them other than the labels indicating color. The answer is NOTHING, other than the plastic tab that allows them to fit into only a certain slot, i.e. CYM or K. If that tab is gone guess what? THE DRUM FITS ANY SLOT! Holy crap, how odd! And the micro chips in them don't know what color the drum is either., they only serve to tell you the drum life. (Thanks for asking.)
STEP TWO: When replacing a CM or Y drum, use a BLACK drum and break off the little tab. Guess what? It fits. Again, holy crap, how odd! (And if you put a black drum in the cyan slot it doesn't beep at you and tell you "Hey moron, I'm a black drum, get me out of here.", because it doesn't know.)
STEP THREE: Send a file of a solid block of color to the copier. For instance, if you just put a black drum in the magenta slot, send a block of magenta as the file. Now print 30 copies. Watch in amazement as the first copies come out black but then they start to change to magenta.... HOLY CRAP, how odd! After 30-50 copies your BLACK DRUM is working perfectly as a MAGENTA DRUM. Holy crap, how odd!
(NOTE: The reason you have to run the copies is to remove the "starter" charge of toner that Canon loads into the drum at the factory. Once it's gone your TONER CARTRIDGE refills the drum with the proper color. THE DRUM DOES NOT KNOW WHAT COLOR IT IS. Toner makes the color. If the drum dictated color why would you need different colors of toner? Duh...)
Concerned about wasting toner? Don't be. A color drum costs about $100 more than a black drum. It might cost you $2-3 in toner to convert a black drum to the color you converted. (Note: Yellow, since it is a weak color compared to black, will require running about 75-100 sheets. About $4-6 in toner.)
There is also another way to do this very same thing, and you don't have to break off the tabs on the drums. Simply remove the little brackets on your machine that allow for the drums to fit only certain slots. If you are reading this and know what I'm talking about then this is a very simple task. Remove four screws and you're done. Very simple.
Now, back to my friend, Mr. Teckat. Sorry for the ugly email, but dude, you pissed me off and you didn't have the facts. Now that I've put it out there for all to see, we'll probably be friends. You're not a bad guy and neither am I. You just doubted me, and I really hate that. Ha! I am an honest hard working guy like everyone else here. I just happened upon something that is a valuable piece of information, I think you'll agree. Pretty cool, and a great way to save a lot of cash. So are you going to send me a hundred bucks or do you still want to wager that $10,000?
I hope you all have been entertained and enlightened... go save yourself some money! Compliments from the ebay scam artist guy....
