I am new here and I will try to catch up on what is going on. But in the meantime here is a thought that you might want to explore.
I would like members opinion on a couple of things that some may find interesting. Or not.
It's common practice for some xerox techs to drop a printhead from one model phaser into another. An example would be to drop a serviceable 840 printhead into a 850 or even an 8200 And consider this to be a good repair.
In addition to swapping the print heads they drop in a 840 loader and 840 ink in any of these units.
They swear that you can't tell any drop in print quality under any condition. They agree the 8200 is a higher res unit but the prints using 840 inks and 840 printheads in any of these printers just don't show any difference under print comparisons.
I am sure many of you techs have probably done some of these things yourselves.
But to my real question.
Ink cost for 840 inks are cheap, $2 - $5 off of eBay. Compare an 850 at about $20 and 860 or 8200 even higher.
How many of you have dropped an 840 loader full of 840 ink into a 850 or 8200 and printed a few thousand copies just to see how it performs?
I have done this for a long time and have my own recorded results. How about you?
