New Metrofuser technology to boost aftermarket cartridges
June 14, 2018
Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser has announced new technology to improve aftermarket toner cartridge performance.
The popularity of aftermarket toner continues to rise as consumers have started to accept OEM alternatives as a cheaper, viable option. In recent years, however, some of the toner particulate used to refill these cartridges have seen a greater degree of variables, whether it be size, coarseness or melting point when compared to original equipment manufacturer toner. These variables sometimes cause image defects, such as blurred print and poor toner adhesion.
Metrofuser says that the company has developed its high variant fuser technology to be more tolerant to the variables of modern aftermarket toner particulate. High Variant (HV) fusers have tuned thermal and pressure properties which allow greater tolerance and perform better with today’s high variable toner particulate.?
While conventional fusers are tested and benchmarked against a single OEM or a single brand of toner, Metrofuser explains that its HV fusers are tested with multiple toner brands. Extensive A/B testing with imported and domestic aftermarket toner show that HV Fusers are more tolerant to the variances of modern toner and offer better print. HV Fusers even rival the image quality of the OEM fusers using aftermarket toner.
Metrofuser has awarded these fusers with its O/A Rating which means it not only engineered to work with the OEM it has been tested with at least 4 aftermarket toner cartridge brands. The O/A Rating is earned through comprehensive initial testing which includes full bleed and multi paper media. To maintain quality the O/A Rating™ requires products to be routinely tested over time.
If companies have experimented with aftermarket toner in the past and had difficulties, Metrofuser explains that its engineers can assist in selection, sourcing, and even third party testing. Contact engineering@metrofuser.com.
