I have just filled my Lexmark c510 with refilling toner , and all seemed to
work out, but after a view prints the powder from the black toner went
through the the roll and messed up my printer. What is happening?

Compatible toners are developed with the intention to compare as much
as possible to OEM toners (original toners) in both page yield and
print quality.

To match the OEM quality closely, it is best to use all 4 cartridges
with refilled toner, as a mix of some colors OEM and some colors
refilled may not produce the perfect "overlay" of colors that will be
produced with either all colors OEM or all colors compatible.

thanks for the answer, but the overlay was not the problem. It was the
actual powder literally falling out of the cartridge and spreading all
over the other cartridges and the Photo-plate. I had to vacuum my
printer inside after taking all cartridges out! I couldn´t imagine,
how this should be influenced by changing all four toners?

Yes, the cause of the powder literally falling out of the cartridge is a typical reaction between OEM and Non-OEM toner. Please try all 4 colors.

manthos is true.This type of thing happen because of this OEM and Non OEM ink mixed.
