Static Releases the Industry's First Matched HP8500 Drum and Chip Solution

SANFORD, N.C. — Static Control announces the release of the industry's first matched OPC drum and chip solution for the HP8500. Static's HP8500 SmartChip is programmed to match each PhotoPrecise HP8500 OPC drum. The drum offers page yields of 12,500 for full color (CMYK) or 50,000 for black.

Just like the 'EM integrated electronics system, SCC's drum and chip work in tandem – the chip must be programmed to match the drum sensitivity. Each drum and chip set is then lot coded and shipped together as a matched pair. Static's PhotoPrecise drum provides a clear image with every print. And Static offers a one-cycle guarantee for this drum against wear-related defects.

"Until now, our customers had only one option – the 'EM drum and chip solution. With our Static Control matched solution, we are now providing a choice that d'esn't compromise quality and provides a savings over the 'EM product," said Paul Rossi, imaging materials director for Static Control. "Extensive research, development, and testing have gone into the creation of this matched drum/chip solution to ensure the quality that remanufacturers depend on Static Control for. Look for additional products, including the HP8500 wiper blade, coming soon."
