Darkening laser printer toner?

2012-03-18 by Philip Pemberton

Hi all,

A few of you may be aware of the... "issues" I've had with LaserStar
film and my Kyocera printer. Basically, the toner ends up forming
blotches as it goes through the fuser. This coupled with the roughly
1.414x (1-stop) light loss through the film makes it damn close to
impossible to get a good transfer.

Unfortunately my laser printer doesn't have a "toner density" option.
It's set automatically when it does the colour calibration :(

Does anyone know of any tricks to darken laser printer toner?

Failing that, does anyone want to make me an offer for the two unopened
packs of LaserStar I have sitting on my bookshelf (and which worked
really nicely with my previous B&W laser printer)?

Thanks,
-- 
Phil.
