C451 Printing issue, Black Imaging Unit?

Re: C451 Printing issue, Black Imaging Unit?

That model is very old! you should be able to find a black DEV unit for less than that. ebay, etc

I can find Used units for under 120$ but I'm unsure if I can use used units without dev spilling during shipment?

I forgot that the black drum & developer was sold complete as Image unit. So if you can get it for $250 that is good price. I would not buy a used one.

Thats what I thought. Its funny the other Copytech who called me to help said the same thing "Oh wait, thats right, they are a combined unit, yeah thats more like 300$ not 100"

Not here meaning to bump a 2 year old thread, but life had gotten in the way for quite some time and I had taken a second job for a while, and was using a different machine

I took the entire machine apart and cleaned all the developer that had dumped out, I bought a brand new OEM image unit and the official bracket to hold the black image unit into place to prevent future problems. It has been working for a few months now since replacing the black image unit, and the prints seem to be fine!

I just wanted to post some closure on this and for anyone who may stumble upon this thread via a google search. I hate unresolved threads, thank you everyone!

Hi, if you read the last few posts, this issue was resolved, was a bad image unit, new image unit and the problem is gone.
