Fuser Fixing Films / Sleeve

[electra123]

Does anyone have a reliable source for OEM fixing films/ sleeve for the HP LaserJet Range of printers. There are quite a few suppliers out there but we have seen many generic poor quality products on the market. These are high failure items and would require quantities

I've used the ones from a company called Laser Pros, and they seem to be as good physically as the OEM's, However, the problem with failure when replacing these was not with the quality of the sleeves. The failure was a result of the lubricant that is used between the heating element and the sleeve. Of all the ones we've tried, all of which claimed to be high temp, became gummy. This caused the sleeve not to rotate, thus causing jams at the fuser. I wish you luck if you try and replace the sleeves yourself. And if you find a lubricant that doesn't get gummy, I'd love to hear about it. I had returned to clients sites numerous times to "fix" the fusers that we decided to replace the sleeves. We came the the descission to not rebuild them any longer, and just buy genuine HP Fusers.

Tell about it - we remanufacture fusing assemblies in fairly large quantities and has taken a time and effort to get them right. We have succeeded. First you need to get a reliable product and your sleeve must be as close to OEM as possible. We have seen OEM sleeves floating around world markets. Next the grease - The original grease that HP uses is called UNIFLOR 8172 and is manufactured I believe by NYE Lubricants in New Bedford MA. Make sure that you strip down service and clean your fuser prior to installing new grease and sleeve - Good Luck
