[Misc] Colour drums for Risograph FR3950 EP

[Lindblom]

Hello,

I am pretty new to the Risograph, recently bought an FR3950 EP, which I'm having a lot of fun with. I am now about to buy some additional colour drums and have a question that hopefully someone on here could answer for me. Are there any differences between colour drums in Europe and America?

As far as I know, any properly maintained FR drum should work. The only difference between machines there and here is that we have around 120 VAC coming out of the wall outlets and there's around 220VAC there, and all the circuitry that deals with that difference is in the machine proper. So the drum shouldn't have anything to do with that.
Still, on a machine that old you might want to be a bit cautious, as a cheaper drum might be cheaper because it has a few million more prints on it than the more expensive ones.
Good luck!
