Improving Faint Print or Blank Pages on the Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer

2010-08-30T12:56:00.000-07:00

The Print Head Device (PHD) in the Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer is packaged with eight plastic ribbon-type tapes. Four of these are long tapes covering the actual print drum rollers. The other four are much shorter and cover the toner inlets at the back of each roller. If a tape breaks off and is not fully removed before installing the PHD, it prevents toner from reaching the roller, which can lead to faint printing or blank pages with no printing.
Verify the Packing Materials Have Been Removed From the Print Head Device (PHD)
1. Press the button in the upper right side of the printer and open the front cover. Open the Front Cover of the Printer

2. Turn the four PHD lock levers counterclockwise to unlock the unit. Rotate the Lock Levers to Unlock the PHD Unit

3. Remove the PHD unit from the printer.

4. Completely remove the eight yellow ribbons from the PHD unit by pulling them straight out perpendicular from the PHD unit.

There are 8 protective tapes, 4 long ones with 4 shorter ones behind them. These must be pulled straight outward from the unit to prevent print quality issues. Make sure no fragments of these tapes remain in the PHD.
5. Insert the PHD unit until it is seated properly, and turn the four PHD lock levers clockwise to lock the PHD unit

6. Carefully remove the front protective sheet from the PHD unit

7. Close the front cover.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW ENOUGH OF COMPATIBLE TONER CARTRIDGES

2010-06-03T15:44:00.000-07:00

What do you really know about compatible toner cartridges? Do you know how much a quality compatible toner cartridge will save on your printer budget? Every time you purchase an OEM replacement toner cartridge, you pay twice what you should pay.

Most people don't know enough about compatible toner cartridges. Some think compatible toner cartridges will void their warranty. That's not true. In fact, it's against the law. Others believe the quality and quantity of print will not be as good. That's also not true. Compatible toner cartridges are manufactured to the exact OEM standards of your laser printer.

They are guaranteed to be as good as or better than the original cartridge. They will print the same number of pages with the same quality. Perhaps the real reason most people haven't discovered how to cut their replacement toner cost in half is they believe what major printer companies are saying. Major printer companies spend thousands of dollars every year to discourage you from trying a compatible toner cartridge. It's ironic. Did you know many major printer companies are selling you compatible and remanufactured toner cartridges? The problem is, you're paying full price for their brand name toner cartridge. Look at your package label. See if it says, "manufactured from new and recycled parts"... enough said. When you purchase original replacement toner cartridges, you will pay nearly seven times as much for toner cartridges as you paid for your laser printer.

This is based on a normal printer life expectancy of five years. If your laser printer lasts more than five years, which many do, you will pay more. The first thing people notice when they use compatible is that the prints of these toner cartridges are as good as the original toner cartridge. In fact, some compatible cartridges actually print more pages than the original toner cartridge. After doing some extensive research, you can find out that many original toner cartridges are not filled to capacity.

These toner cartridges print the number of pages given in the company specifications. However, when the toner cartridge is completely filled with toner, you get more pages from the same toner cartridge. When you purchase a compatible toner you will not only get more pages of print with the same quality, but you’ll also pay less than half of what the OEM charges you. Tips: -Only purchase your toner cartridges from a reputable supplier. This is very important. -Compare their compatible toner cartridge cost with what you've been paying. -Check out their toner cartridge guarantee. You will be glad you made this deal
