Xerox Docucolor 250 and 5000 Toner

[alopezv]

I recieve an info from a xerox tech that the toners inks of xerox docucolor 250 and 5000 are the same but are for different target and prices.

I see the cartridge and the two are similar, the product price are similar too but the box for 5000 come with two toners this make the price half.

Some have info abut this.

Thanks

I see the same case in Xerox Phaser 790 and 2006 machines, that are lower price machines i test and work. But this is a high price machine and i don´t like test without more info about this.

Actually that is the same question I have. The architecture for the Xerographic subsystem is the same for Dc250 and 5000, but I have been told that the 5000 uses oil in the fuser. The next week I will get some toner for 5000 and I will test it in DC250. If somebody knows any problem doing this, please let me know. If not I will let you know what happens...

Toner docucolor 5000 is similar with docucolor 8000.

5000 and 8000 toner is different. 2045/5252/2060 and 8000 toner is same

The toner for the 2045/2060/5252/6060/7000/8000 is exactly the same the only difference is that the 7000/8000 is chipped for usage. That keeps you from reusing the cartridges by refilling. I don't know about the 5000 toner being the same.

Pls be careful about this toner substitution business, i once ran out of DC252 toner and refilled with 2060....it seemed to work initially but after a short run i started getting paper badly jamming in the fuser, cos heat roll could not adequately melt the toner. I almost lost a fuser and had to change dev materials in the two dev modules i refilled, viz yel and mag in order to flush the xero system of the 2060 toner before the machine recovered.

Imperia and Pinhurst toner worked for my 252!!!....(free of charge):cool

Adeyemi,

Is it a Xerox brand machine imperia and pinhurst? if so, what´s the model?

I am in a hurry to down the cost, toner for Dc250 is going higher every month.!!!

Thanks.
