Hi
Experienced technical support provide their insights in answering this question :
You don’t say whether you are using questionable remanufactured toner cartridges or how old the cartridges you installed are. If it really is toner spilling out, then the most likely cause is the waste toner section. Whatever leftover toner is on the drum after the print job is done is swept into the waste bin. If it fills up, much like an overfilled trash can, it spills out. You can take the old cartridge, since it’s not doing you any good anyway, and poke a hole in it and dump out the waste toner. Then cover the hole with tape. Make sure you got the right half, that’s the one that has the drum installed on it.
How to Identify and Fix Common printer Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :
One of two issues can cause this. The toner cartridge may not be fully seated into the photoconductor unit. This can cause the seal between the two to break, allowing toner to leak out. The other possibility is that the toner cartridge or the photoconductor unit may be damaged.
Clean the contacts
If the contacts between the cartridge and the printer are dirty or clogged, there is a high chance that this can be the main cause for the ink to leak on the paper. To properly clean the contacts, open the printing machine and remove the ink cartridges and place them on a clean piece of paper.
This is when your printer`s pages come out dirty, or the toner powder is scattered all over the inside of the printer. A leaking toner cartridge is an important problem to fix because if left unsolved, the loose toner powder can cause more damage than is necessary.
Not a problem. Even a properly aligned cartridge can leak if the contacts between it and the machine are dirty or clogged. Similar to before, open up the machine, remove the offending cartridge and wipe it down with an alcohol-based wipe – not water as this can cause damage.
When it is not fusing correctly, toner can become smudged on the paper if non-fused toner sticks to the rollers. In the case of a bad drum or leaking toner, it is best to replace the entire toner cartridge. If you suspect a bad fuser is at fault, it is best to have the laser printer serviced at a repair shop.
Locate the waste toner container sensor near the bottom of the Waste Toner Container. Clean the transparent plastic square. Clean the black sensors inside the printer, where the waste toner container sensor is located during normal operation. Power on the printer without the Waste Toner Container installed.
To test if cartridge is damaged, wipe its entirety with a dry lint-free cloth. If there is a stain away from the contacts, there might be a crack in the cartridge. If there are no leaks, properly install the cartridge again. Do a print test to ensure printing quality.
Check the Paper Setting of Your Printer
Photo Paper setting or Matte-Coated Paper setting causes more ink to be printed. If the printing paper loaded in the inkjet printer doesn`t match the paper setting, it can cause ink bleeding, smudging, and smearing.
Smears and smudges on the paper can be caused by dirt, dust, or toner accumulated on the rollers or transfer belt as it passes through the paper. Cleaning your printer, particularly the rollers, is one of the options for removing black markings from paper.
irritated eyes. headache. itching skin. Direct contact with toner can lead to skin and eye sensitisation.
If ink leaks into a printer`s ink bay – also known as the cradle or carriage – it can cause smears or blotches of ink on your documents. In addition to creating a mess, it can also make you business appear sloppy or unprofessional.
Many chemicals in toner and ink are hazardous.
It consists of plastic particles, carbon black, fumed silica, dyes, and charge control agents. This chemical composition renders it extremely flammable, even explosive under certain conditions.
Turn off the printer and remove the toner cartridge. Look inside the printer in the area below where the cartridge goes. The toner sensor is on the right-hand side.
Press the tiny reset button located beside the chip and hold for 10 seconds. Depending on the brand and model of the cartridge, you may not need to hold the button for 10 seconds, but it won`t harm the cartridge so do it anyway just to be safe.
The printer cartridge could be leaking because you overfilled it with ink during refill. Draw out 1 or 2 ml of ink from the cartridge using the syringe. Note that when refilling cartridges, 5 ml of ink for colors and 10 ml of ink for black is generally enough. Ink cartridges with leaks tend to print blank pages.
The most obvious is most common on laser color printers and can be detected by a flashing message on the printer display screen. Other signs of a bad printer drum include printing blank pages, printing gray pages and strange sounds coming from the printer as it prints.
Yes and no. Although most modern laser printers offer full-page print options, it is not truly a full-bleed finish like from an inkjet. However, you can achieve excellent results with some creativity. Try printing your job at the maximum size, but on a larger sheet of paper.
Laser printers work by using high heat to fuse powdered ink to paper. There is no bleeding effect, because laser toner does not absorb into paper.
Bleed is artwork that is extended beyond the actual dimensions of the document. It is used to avoid strips of white paper showing on the edges of your print when cut to size. If a document has no bleed and the trimming is out by 0 5mm then you will end up with a white strip.
In printing, the term “Bleed” means that the ink coverage extends all the way to the edge of the paper. To illustrate, look at the business card shown as Example 1. The ink on this card Bleeds on three sides – left, right and bottom. This is because the ink is touching these three edges of the business card.
If the printer remains horizontal during the move, you do not have to remove the ink cartridges. Turn on the printer. Remove all ink cartridges from the printer as described in Replacing Ink Cartridges. Turn off the printer so that it discharges all the ink from the tubes.
One of the most common reasons why ink smudges or even faded prints occur is defective ink or toner cartridges. Try and check your ink cartridges if they are all still in good condition. Make sure that the ink has not yet dried up and is free from dirt and residue build-up.
10 volume is also the default developer for many toners and glazes, however, keep in mind that this higher volume developer means a possible shift to the natural base color. When 10 volume is used with bleach it can give 1-4 levels of lift depending on the bleach, the method of application, and the hair.

Expired Toner and Suggestions for Source of Toner
ANSWER : Hi Frank, I had a very similar question two weeks ago, but my “old beloved workhorse” is an HP Laserjet 4L. From the good old days! I too had made bad investments in “new but old truly HP” toner cartridges, hoping to coax more life from my printer. I ended up choosing to try a remanufactured cartridge from www.4inkjets.com. It was a gamble, but the website said they had a 100% satisfaction guarantee. And I can tell you they have lighting fast service. I’ve now printed 50 pages without a flaw. JOY! While the cartridges and technology are different, I suggest you try the same place. And good luck!

Waste Toner Cartridge is empty but printer is still telling me to replace it
ANSWER : All of the ones I’ve seen are optical. Light shines through a transparent section of the waste box onto a photocell. If toner builds up past that area, it gives a warning to replace it. Possibly toner dust has gotten on the photocell.
