Personally I bin them these development units are not designed to be refilled and they are quite cheap to buy. But everyone has there own way they do things good luck

AS a previous buyer from KATUN,THEY SUCK BIG TIME............

THERE is nothing difficult taking apart a 03 dev unit..
I dont see the need to buy new..
if you start dumping developer or machine keeps undertoning/overtoning i can see a new dev unit but
I feel these units can go 500k easy

Re: Ricoh mp c5503

that you I have heard they suck, they current dev unit is spitting out toner, so I have ordered a new one
ty for the tips guys

Re: Ricoh mp c5503

What dev are you putting back in the 03 dev units? You can't buy individual dev bags can you? Or are you just putting in an older model such as 4501 or something...
I haven't reused a dev unit on an 03 model because they go way over life and aren't that pricey. But I am interested in knowing about your process of resuing them.
I also have a lot of 03 models in my show room (and the graveyard area) that were replaced even though they were low volume so I have had loads of spare parts to use over the past few years.

If you are not refilling them, then the question wasn't for you. I was asking fshead.
