As we all know, when the toner of a laser printer is used up, the manufacturer's principle is to replace the toner cartridge or powder bin, but users mostly add powder to save money. But do you know? You can also use the "waste" with great value and change it to color laser printing.
We found three old toner cartridges or powder bins, clean the residual powder, and can be removed and washed with water, but just wipe the drum, fixing film or fixing roller with degreased cotton. Prevent moisture from blind spots. Put the three color powders of cyan, magenta and yellow respectively and mark the color of the color powder outside the box for easy use in the future. There are four sets of original black powder toner cartridges. Next, you can print in color.
For color pictures that need to be output, use Photoshop and other software to process the component color films. The color separation processing of some typesetting software is also very convenient, and can also be output on the Internet as needed. When outputting different color separation pieces, change to the toner cartridge of the corresponding color, and print them in four times on the same sheet of paper to get color pictures.
If you want to print well, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. First of all, the grayscale effect of the printer picture output is that of the grayscale level, which should be smooth and evenly excessive, and there will be no traces in line breaks. Some printers claim to be level 128 grayscale, and their effects are not satisfactory. Don't just look at the indicators, but look at the actual results. Of course, the resolution is 600DPI or above.
2. Repeat printing and positioning. Whether it is a ‘U’ or ‘L’-shaped paper-trapping structure, about twenty pieces of paper should be kept in the paper box for positioning. It is easier to position the ‘U’ structure, that is, to make positioning marks at the back of the paper feeding direction, and position them when repeated printing. In order to prevent the paper from being misaligned when the paper is just fed, an appropriate paper pressing wheel or a few appropriate magnets can be placed on the paper. For the ‘L’-shaped structure, open the chassis and stick a few moderate plastic blanks in appropriate positions. It plays a positioning role when putting paper, but does not affect paper removal.
3. Color printing order cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
As for the printing quality, I won’t change the inkjet printer that costs more than 4,000 yuan. I changed it with an old A3 printer worth more than 1,000 yuan. Especially on ordinary paper, one will not peel off, two will not be slower than inkjet printers, and three will be lower than inkjet printers. It's worth the money.
Experience in using it, the advantages of single images are not obvious. However, for multiple pictures or multiple pictures, you can avoid changing the drum too frequently, and change the color and drum after processing one color. This process speed is more than 10 pieces in 10 minutes. For simple text color matching, just print separately. The operation is very simple, but the color is limited to cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and too monotonous. If you only use one or two colors, such as red file sets, you can use green, yellow, and redemption. Not suitable for full-color text printing with very small characters or extremely thin lines, which is due to positioning and dots. Authentic color laser printers cannot avoid the small characters caused by outlets, which are worse than not using outlets. Text of normal size can be printed in full color.
This method is passed on multiple printers, and the powder change must be matched with the drum. The same principle can also be used to realize color printing on a needle printer.
