Future Graphics Offers System for Remanufacturing HP Color Cartridges

FG Hp colorLOS ANGELES — Future Graphics released a complete remanufacturing solution for the HP 4700/4730/CP4005 color cartridge. A part of FG’s Comprehensive Systems Solutions, this patent-pending fixture and tools set (HP4700SEALCSS) provides a quick, safe and consistent method of drilling and resealing the cartridge every time.

The FG remanufacturing system for HP 4700/4730/CP4005 color cartridges works without heat or splitting the cartridge. Future Graphics’ experienced staff engineers highly recommend this method of insertion sealing for high-gram-load color cartridges in order to eliminate leaking issues during transportation.

The FG method also helps to maintain critical cartridge gaps and tolerances that can be compromised when splitting cartridges.

The Future Graphics fixture initially works as a drill guide. When used in conjunction with the FG drill hole-bit-with stop collar, a new fill-hole can be safely and easily made in the cartridge without damaging the interior mechanisms. The combination of fixture and tools then properly aligns a new seal for maximum adhesive area coverage. The safe, easy-to-use process requires little training, saves time, avoids wasted seals, allows reuse of the OEM spindle and provides a high-quality seal.

Future Graphics toner, chips and compatible components for the remanufacturing process complete the matched system solution.

Complete instructions and a video demonstration of the FG remanufacturing process for the HP 4700/4730/CP4005 can be seen online at Future Graphics’ Web site. No password or registration is required.
