If Kyocera put their money where their mouth is they wouldn't use chips. Kyocera are all for the environment (with long-life-drums) but the toner lets them down. Chips mean refilling an empty box is expensive and difficult so totally against environmental protection. Kyocera used to be chipless (and also RFID-stickerless before chips) which was genuinely good for the environment as all you had to do was remove a plug and pour in a bottle of replacement toner into an empty box and hold down the green button for 12 seconds to reset the counter. It seems profit before ideology has now infected Kyocera and they lost their way.
I never knew Kyocera toners were chipless, thanks. You are right it's a backwards step but hopefully in a post-Covid world and the chance for humanity to mend their ways all printer manufacturers may look beyond chipped toners.
With the kyocera m5521 cdn m5521cdw its a struggle to find decent non genuine toners as the others seem to leave streaks and marks does refiling the cartridges do the same ?also is it best to refill genuine cartridges with youre toner ? cheers
We've had no issues with streaking in our printer >> is it best to refill genuine cartridges with your toner ? Yes. That's what has been tested and is known to be successful
Thanks for the video. I bought Urefill toners for my previous laser printer and now having upgraded to a Kyocera M5521cdn needed to check what was available. Useful tip about the chip and toner not necessarily needing to be replaced at the same time. Although as I don't use Windows (I use Postscript 3 driver on RISC OS) is there another way of knowing what colour needs to be rechipped in response to "non-genuine" message ? (Apart from guessing from a label stuck on the toner with the date I refilled them.)
Sorry, but a "Postscript 3 driver on RISC OS" is not our area of expertise. When you get a "non-genuine" message, the printer must know which colour cartridge it's not happy with. That's shown by a pop-up on the computer screen in our experience as you can see here th-cam.com/video/XxQ9MHYQAhc/w-d-xo.html
Hello, I'm considering going down this route in order to be more environmentaly friendly and save some cash. My only question is; what do you do with the waste toner side of the cartridge? Is there any way to empty this? I'm worried that the waste portion will fill up too much and leave a big mess inside the printer. Thanks in advance.
@@urefilltonerUK Thanks for the prompt response. Looks like I'll be buying a Kyocera and going to you guys for some refill kits. Have a good bank holiday weekend!
Same as the HP M454 here www.urefilltoner.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?manufacturer=Canon&productCode=HPM454BOTB&price=12.38&description=Black+toner+refill+bottle+50g++2%2c300+yield&engine=HPM454&printer=MF744Cdw%2c+MF746Cx&id=3081&weight=70
Great video! Makes it all a bit more interesting😂
Thank, God. Ive been waiting for this 👍👍
You and me both!

Hi, refill the Black toner, but it's still saying "replace K toner", do you have any suggestions?
Sorry for the writing, I'm from Brazil hahaha
You also need to do something about the chip. Either replace it or follow the protocol as shown by Kyocera on the LCD screen. All in the video

The waste does gradually fill up and it can be emptied, if necessary

Thank you for that! I have refilled the black cartridge and printed a status page but it still says the black is nearly empty!! Any suggestions????
First, ignore that. Then ...
Replace the toner? Refill the moaner
Non-genuine? Microchip medicine
Obviously not as catchy as I'd hoped !
@@urefilltonerUK are you saying just ignore that it's saying it's still nearly empty even though it's been refilled? Thank you
@@johnprosser2142 Yes. Just follow the mantra. No need to overthink it
Pressing both ok and cancel for at least three seconds solved the message no original toner without changing the chip.
Hi, just wondering if you have a video on refilling canon MF746cx?
Same as the HP M454 here

Nice work bro!❤😹
Glad you like it
Good video and love the idea of reusing cartridges however there is no black toner refill on the website.
Yeah, we sold out of all the original black and manufacturer stopped making it. The lab's currently testing another one
After refilling it continues to say "replace toner K", how to fix?
In our experience, refilling the target cartridge with our toner got rid of the "Replace" message
Oh, man. I'm dying of curiosity here. What happens if you refill the moaner and do the microchip medicine together?
We don't know. We look for the cheapest way that works. Once we've got that, we don't waste time looking for other ways in which it might not work
