    Question C554e toner refill

    Hello everyone,

    is it possible to refill the konica minolta c554e cartridges with toner specific for press machines like the 1070 or 3070 ( this one specifically Konica Minolta TN619 Toner Set for bizhub PRESS C1060 C1070 Part Number: TN619 4-Pack ), would I face any problems if I did that ?

    I want to do that as it can be a lot cheaper than buying the genuine toner specific for the c554e machine.

    Compatible toners can cause all sorts of problems from CQ to premature failure of parts.

    would those problems occur even if I refilled with genuine c3070 toner ?

    CQ = copy/print quality.
    As far as I know they do not sell bulk toner powder.

    If I emptied genuine toner cartridges specific for the c3070 in the c554e cartridges, would that cause any problems ?

    Is the toner material the same for both machines?

    I had issues with refilled/ aftermarket toners. You might save some money on the toner, but drums are expensive if messed up with non original toner, learned that the hard way....

    Would those problems still happen even if I refilled with genuine toner specified for a konica machine other than the one I have ?

    Some of the toner is same, for instance all the 4 series is same. I wouldn't use a different series toner. Like the other poster said why ruin the drums with wrong toner. Forget about the drums, what about contaminating the developer units with wrong toner, dev units cost $500+ each!

    Re: C554e toner refill

    The very fact that there are 100 different toner bottles out there for the current fleet of machines drives me f'ing nuts..One bottle to rule them all!!!..Of course, production and KM branded devices are going to be different, and I understand the corporate level need to keep out knock off supplies as this affects their bottom line. IMHO if you are having to resort to filling up toner with the left overs from other devices you are probably not going to last much longer. E
