K drum for c224

[jonpaul]

We were curious to know if anyone has used a black drum as a colour one in the C224 series ?.We have done it with the 220series without out any problems and a big saving.Also upgraded firmware on a C203 and it threw C-C164 anybody come across this. Thanks all

Yes it does work for the C224 series also. We order the black drumd and chip them with the CMY chips when necessary.

Hi there,

We also use the black drums in the colour sockets and using colour chips to reset the counters. We also reset the developer units and we suffer no developer depletion and we run the units to twice their life. Massive savings all round !!!!!!!

The same chip can be used for all of the following devices and pretty much halves your cost of the colour drum

you can do the DV's too. Shhhhh dont tell any one.

Dont need to bother with the chips for drum & dev unit can simply turn off the warning in CE mode.
All you do when fitting a black drum as colour is to use the old chip.

Except for the fact that the machine adjusts for a new drum when you install it. If you don't at least use a new chip the machine won't know it is a new drum and therefore can't make those necessary adjustments.

Jip drum aging adjustment is a factor. The increased charge will fry the new drum surface.

Rubbish, a good tech can monitor print quality & replace drums etc as required, why replace an imaging unit when it is printing perfectly?
