Anyone had experience with refilling toner (eg., TN-210BK) or is it just not worth the effort. I guess primary concerns are:

1) how do we reset the chip? or is there even one to reset? Embarassed

2) what is the shelf life of refill components? because I was going to buy all of them while only the black is low now

Thanks!

Not eays to reman colour carts unless you have all the correct cleaning equipment and instructions, my advice is to buy reman carts from a trusted quality supplier and leave well alone yourself
Hope this helps

Well you don't need to re-manufacture the cartridge. You can clean out the left over toner and buy toner refills for it. Resetting the gear is pretty simple and similar to the TN110/115 cartridges.

I guess it all just depends on what route you wanna go. Even if you don't decide to continue with refills, giving a shot is always worth the time since you will replace the cartridge if you don't refill it.

the toner cartridge is not that expensive. But I think The TN-315 yield lower cost per page than TN210 toner cartridge
