I found there are huge differences in toner.
Trying to refill a EP-S with copier toner resulted in WAY too much toner
was applied to the magnetic transfer drum. There is a metal strip
restricting the amount, which normally has plastic spacers to make a small
gap (maybe .2mm). i filed away the spacers totally to make the gap as
small as possible, which kind of worked. But the quality of the print is
not OK and it is lighter too.
In general i have much better TT results with genuine toner, which costs
no more than refill at ebay. The HP toner is much darker on paper than
remanufactured one it seems.
