    [Misc] Bizhub C252 developer/carrier

    Hello!

    I've heard that there is a compatible developer from other machine from Konica Minolta. Can anyone tell me if it's true? Maybe someone tried and managed to use some compatible developer and tell me about this.

    Thank you!

      I've heard that Image Unit developer can be replaced with some developer that is compatible from other machine type, but I don't know from what machine !

        Why would you want to change the developer? Are you wanting to rebuild the IU`s?
        Please do not PM me without asking first.

          Yes, I want to rebuild the IU's. I already used them 2-3 times their lifetime and the developer lost his properties...

            Bizhub C250 and C252 Imaging Units are identical, but from what I can recall you can't get the developer separately and why would you want to rebuild an IU that isn't made to be rebuilt?
            The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

            Yes, I got ADHD, my posting can be quite chaotic at times!

              Well the answer to your question is very simple: I can't afford a new set of IU's now - with the economical crisis the business isn't going very well and I was wondering how can I reduce the costs. That's when I heard about the developer compatibility between 2 machines, but I don't know which developer is compatible with the Bizhub C250/252 developer. So any advice would be great.

              Thank you.

                  The IU' are still working, but if nobody tried and have something that works for sure, I'll try it.
