Using a different color or maybe even black with new aftermarket chip. Run around 60 11x17 half tones and you will see the color gradually change after all the original color is used up it will change to color you want.

The difficulty as I see it is getting the machine to recognize the other color as cyan. Once the IU is recognized the toner will gradually get replaced with cyan. The aftermarket chip should solve this problem.

i have the original chip from the old cyan Image unit, and its remain 100% in the life time.
so can i pull the chip from old cyan image unite and install it in the new one? its will work or no?
thank you

It should work if it's at less than 100% of life.

I would not run 100% cyan fill images. You don't want to completely de-tone the developer, just deplete it. 70% fill images is fine.

If the unit does not reset properly then face C255X error. Best to get the aftermarket chip.

Only way to reset is with new chip.

a lot of times if cyan went bad could be clogged toner port or blk could be over due. throws the voltage out of range

Jip not enough current for the HV to dish out to the units. I reset the units even if the life stop frimware and switches is set.
Something to do with aging compensation.

You may have sorted this issue now but yes you can fit the wrong colour image unit simply swap the chip, you will then need to run a few 100 full colour prints to 'flush out' the wrong colour. This is not recommended but I've tried this a few times. Believe it or not you can even use waste toner to 'top up' a depleted image unit.
