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.

dude i hold on to everything but wrap it,mark it and keep meter/sympton info on it............
I will dump the developer and vacuum and just add a bag of new developer when i get dirty tank with clumps,chunks..
The color dv units are solid

What kind of developer are you refilling these units with?

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