LaserLand Implements New Mag Contact for the HP-5L/HP-1100
Sylvan Lake, Mich — LaserLand is pleased to introduce The MagConnection™ for HP 5L and 1100 toner cartridges. This product enhances the supply of electricity to the developer roller to produce more even, darker, crisper prints. The toner efficiency also is improved. This
device enables greater dots per inch and improves performance in extreme environments.
This device improves performance by increasing the surface are for electrical contact between the rotating magnetic roller contact and a stationary contact. The 'EM contact uses a
plastic piece with a wire that makes contact at a small point with the inner wall of the developer
roller and with the endcap, which connects to the printer at the other end. However, the MagConnection has an increase in surface-to-surface
electrical contact for a better contact at both ends. Increasing the surface-to-surface contact area, ensures a better electrical contact. The quality of
this electrical contact controls print quality, darkness and toner efficiency.
In reviewing the jumping toner concept, an AC component of the mag roller bias voltage causes the toner to jump from the magnetic roller to the photoreceptor drum. When the mag roller bias polarity changes, the toner jumps back to the developer roller where the process continues.
If the connection is weak, not all the toner will jump back to the developer roller. The toner that d'es not "jump back" winds up in the waste toner hopper.
With the MagConnection, the toner returns as designed back to the developer roller for improved toner efficiency and increased darkness. This enhances the capability to print at greater dpi with better resolution in smaller pixels.
Free samples of the MagConnection for the HP 5L/HP 1100 are available.
