[Misc] Docucolor 3535 toner - usable in an HP home color laser?

[Guest]

Was given a bunch of full, unused 3535 toner carts by a printshop owner who was cleaning up. 3 each of CMYK.

I have an HP color laser, a CP1518 NI that I have been planning to refill carts for if I could find appropriate and inexpensive bulk toner, but this has been difficult. I'm aware that they may be good for only one or two refills before their drums become unusable.

Question is, I have been reading that there are many different toner formulations made to plasticize at different temperatures, etc. What are the chances that the Xerox 3535 toner would work in an HP 1518 (same engine as a CP1215)?

If it doesn't work, will the HP be destroyed? It's not an expensive machine, only $200 new, and I will not be too upset if it's ruined.

Thanks.

It probably won't be destroyed ... you'll just get horrible, unrecognizable images, and the machine will fill up with toner until it oozes out of every crevice.

Other than that, it will work perfectly. =^..^=
