Re: Konica C224 toner compatibility
Been running Color Inmaging toner made in USA for several years, on c220 series and C224/e series. Only issue we have sometimes is yellow dev dusting way earlier than other colors. Usually around 60k or more. Tried Copylite compatible dev on all colors with reset & calibration setting up at density levels around 6.5% to 6.9% which is same as OEM levels. On a couple of units, we had yellow dev dusting excessively after only 20k or so.
Question:
Anyone using strictly OEM toners see yellow dev dusting, if so, at what meter?
Anyone using aftermarket dev replacement and same dev unit again? (Recalibrated with a reset chip?), your success?
Most every one of our developer changes with aftermarket dev. goes fine. Some bad ATDC/reset chips on the market made us just re-use the OEM ATDC sensor and a reset piggyback chip to initialize and recalibrate. Those strictly reset chips work every time, with the aforementioned yellow overtoning occasionally. Thought maybe the transfer belt being too old was a factor, but I think we've ruled that out. BTW, Drums are always replaced on schedule. We know you can't stretch the drums too far without pulling dev & screwing up the dev. level.
THANKS for feedback from anyone.
PS. Color Imaging is walking away from the C224e toners series. We are looking for a compatible replacement source.
