Darkprint Imaging Adds WX Mag Roller Recoating Service to Its Offerings
Broomfield, Colo. — Darkprint Imaging is pleased to add the WX mag roller to its OEM
mag roller recoating service. The recoated WX roller average page yield is 10% more than the OEM
roller with densities of 1.49. For all Darkprint processed mag rollers, the lifetime rating based on
field testing is 45,000 prints; this equates to three cycles for the WX.
Darkprint's mag roller technology continues to be an industry leader for mag roller
solutions. The technology has patents pending worldwide and is expected to receive issuance within the
next two months. The patent covers a variety of processes for recoated rollers as well as new builds.
It has gained considerable credibility as two of the processes described in the application are
currently being copied by an Original Equipment Manufacturer and a major remanufacturing
industry supplier.
Darkprint offers one of the most extensive lines of mag roller solutions in the industry.
The current line of Darkprint recoated mag rollers includes the AX, BX, EX, IBM, JX, KX, LX, NX,
PC, PX, SX, TX, VX, WX and XP 5/10. Aftermarket mag rollers are available for the BX, EX, LX,
NX, PC, SX, WX and XP 5/10.
Patent Approval for Spring Contacts
In addition, Darkprint Imaging announces that is has been advised by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office that it received patent approval for its spring contacts and spring hubs. Formal
issuance with an assigned number is expected soon. One spring contact is designed to work in any SX,
NX, MP-20, PC A-15 and A-30 cartridges. A second version is designed for the LX and XP 5/10 while
a third is available for the PX and VX mag rollers.
All contacts are designed for multiple use. Installation takes just seconds and requires no
tools. Extended use within the industry in both OEM and recycled mag rollers has proven that the contacts
are easy to use and provide excellent electrical connection at a low cost per cycle.
