Yeah, the drum is part of the cartridge. Okay, I wont worry abou then. Thanks!

Thanks Simon. I think you're missing my point though. I'm wondering if the act of printing the cleaning sheet is a destructive act, moreso than the simple act of printing a normal sheet of text. I'm wondering if the cleaning mechanism the printer uses might somehow do damage to the drum or...

Hi, my old Samsung ML-1450 has a Cleaning Sheet function, where you hold down the Demo button for a few seconds. It then spits out a page with a bunch of specs, streaks, etc. The manual says "This printing sheet cleans the drum of the toner cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing...

Yeah that's what's frustrating about it. I need the laser for day-to-day things. But I print enough that I have to think about cost. The oem cartridge for this printer is about $125, where rebuilds are about $60. Then you add to that the fact that the oem really skimps on toner, about half of...

Thanks fotofreak. The funny thing about this, the company I bought this last cartridge from states right on the same product page that all of their rebuilds use new drums: "All InkOwl cartridges are of high quality with custom-made parts and come with new, long-lasting drums. If you plan to...

Well the printing light issue only happened with a couple of these older remanufactured cartridges I put aside. Right now, with the remanuf cartridge from a different supplier, it prints dark, no problem. So I don't think it's the fuser. Only problem with this cartridge is that I think the drum...

After watching a couple of the cartridge rebuilding videos that were posted on my last thread, it has me thinking that I might be able to rebuild a couple of these old cartridges I have sitting around. The printer is a 10-year old Samsung ML-1450. Here's the question. If a cartridge is at the...

Yeah that's what I do. I don't print any type of photos, mainly text so I keep it at 300 dpi. And I never check 'Dark Text' or 'All Text to Black' and keep Darkness at Normal. Of course when I have a cartridge that's starting to print light, then I max all those things out. Sometimes on a tax...

Cool Thanks! The 'high yield' part had me confused because the last one I bought was by far the lowest yield cartridge I ever bought. I got about 1500 prints out if it. But my prints are mostly very dense and printed on legal sized paper. So probably about 4 times more toner on the page than the...

Hey thanks Tudor. Those videos help alot! I know I never cleaned the wiper blade. At least now I know where to look.

Is that the new one with the official Samsung logo? I know you said you buy the OEM ones. But I think everybody has a different definition of OEM. I'm old. So when I think of OEM, I think of Samsung manufacturing the cartridges then selling them to a different company that puts their own label...

Thanks for the info Hat! Yeah, I should have mentioned that I always empty the old toner first. I've even gone as far as taking it apart and getting every single speck of old toner out. (And I never use toner that's already been opened.) I'm wondering if the problem is the toner brand I was...

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding usable remanufactured cartridges for this printer. Either they start printing light after 1000 prints (while still full with toner), or they print dirty and have ghosting issues. I even bought a new Samsung label cartridge. What a waste of $125. There was...
