    Ah yes if this was an end user with a 'new' C308 might not be worth the gamble.

    Hey if OP is a end-user and screws up. Means money for a tech out there...

    Agree sell you toner on the old interweb then buy the right stuff if you don't want to take risks.
    Easy sell.
    Whatever

    This is so bad BAD thread in many ways!
    Just imagine next non contract machine you're working on has customer filled toners with whatever left on the shelves they think can put in. Sure some may pick out adequate cartridge...but how many?

    Yeah, imagine being callrd out on a service call and they have the right cart installed but you have no idea they refilled it with toner from a different model. You'd be chasing your tail for a while. lol

    That was what i meant. Easy to screw even experienced techs not to mention novice.

    Don't do this blindly i check the material safety information sheets on the toners.
    Contains all the CAS numbers and quantity in the mix.

    Will be supersized to find that they are identical between models.

    Here is a sample of one.
    MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page:1/6 MSDS No.:MFP-0322 ...

    Also look at

    Safety Data Sheets. Konica Minolta Canada
    Whatever

    had that more than once.
    last one was 2 years ago they had an old cf3102 with black issues like mad. through some investigative work i saw a xerox toner box in the trash under a bunch of other paper. turned out they ran out of black but had a few boxes of xerox black likely from an analog machine. ruined the IU and fuser. instant billable call.

    Thank you for your experience. Even if don't like recycling expansive "old" toners, probably I will buy new cartridges. The new photocopier is too much "new" for this risk.
    Anyway I cannot sell the old cartridges (for c284e) because are partially used.
    Thanks againg

    For the sake of not wasting it use it.
    It will work just fine on your machine.

    Not all copier toner are the same its quite a complicated topic.
    Mixing toners mess up machines.
    Whatever
