OEM parts in Konica Minolta C6500

[Frankie]

Hi there.
Does have anybody experience with OEM parts for this model? I.e. drums, rollers etc?
I know this question is a little bit dangerous after the drum problems a year ago but I was just anxious?

Just knowing what is expected of these machines by the customer I personally would not want to be working with aftermarket parts. I have worked with them at times on other models and the parts in my opinion are generally not as good.

There were a rash of problems with the drums in the past, but there have been several levels of modifications to these units....current part number A0400Y4...I have yet to have a blade flip on these....

But I agree with Cantechman, best to go with KM sourced parts where consumables and toners are concerned. Third party vendors can and have been known to not be up to standard on these items. Peace of mind and relatively low cost (not having to do it twice or more)...are the leading reasons.
