The goal of every remanufacturer is to produce toner cartridges which have the same consistency in print quality as the OEM in their entire production. And while the remanufacturing industry has matured in that for all major components we have producers of drum, toners, blades who can deliver quality equivalent to or even exceeding the OEM.

However, taken as a whole, the remanufacturing sector still falls short in meeting the overall consistency rating of the OEM. Not only do remanufacturers fail to meet OEM standards of the OEM from cartridge to cartridge, remanufacturers also fall short in overall print quality consistency.

The biggest challenge facing a toner cartridge remanufacturer remains the crucial magroller replacement. Every industry player knows that the magroller contributes the majority of print-related problems, in particular the print consistency of a given cartridge during its cycle and the print quality in general. Yet, no attempt has yet been made to provide a solid replacement magroller to the OEM. The cost of a full scale replacement and with it, the need to remove the magnet core, imposes considerable cost constraints, so that magrollers are only replaced when it becomes necessary to avert a print defect, not necessarily to produce print quality and consistency.

Many in the industry don’t consider magroller replacement as important as that of other components, so long as the toner can deliver print quality that is arbitrarily acceptable in the eyes of the remanufacturer. This is perhaps understandable, as there has not been an easy, cost-effective solution to magroller replacement. Until now.

Today, Pamos Laser Specialists proudly introduces AVIVA Magroller Coating. This revolutionary, first-of-its-kind coating product and process instantly rejuvenates magnetic rollers and can be used for all toner cartridges. AVIVA provides an effective, low-cost solution to solving all magroller nightmares. Using AVIVA on every magroller is the solution to generating homogeneity in print quality. It costs one-tenth as much as a replacement magroller and, here’s the ‘revolutionary’ part - there is no need to remove the magnet core. And it’s fast and easy to apply. Even worn out and scratched magrollers can be rejuvenated using AVIVA. And the process takes less than one minute. There is no equipment to buy when coating with AVIVA.

By adhering a dielectric coating over the surface of the entire magroller by forming a thin microscopic film to enhance and retain the charge on the toner and simultaneously balance and bleed off any excessive charge, thus ensuring that no backgrounding develops.

Application is incredibly easy (Click here to learn how to apply).

 

A used magroller loses its utility as a result of wear and tear to the coated layer due to attrition of toner material rubbing in between the magroller surface and the blade. The original magroller coating recedes after many revolutions causing changes in the charges of the toner, resulting in a lighter printout. As the surface of the magroller sleeve is usually textured, contaminants can easily get embedded in the fine surface grooves, further reducing charging ability.

This is one of the main causes for magroller sleeve dysfunction, resulting in light prints. Cleaning the magroller with certain chemicals can remove the contaminants, but cannot restore the coated layer. Cleaning the magroller can only improve the print quality for a run of perhaps 100 pages at the most, while print quality degrades into light prints of varying degrees.

AVIVA overcomes both these problems. Contaminants are picked up by dielectric film or coating that allows toners to maintain their ‘tribo charge’ at its optimum level, and allows the oppositely charged OPC drum surface to pull and attract the charged toner towards it. The toner particles that haven’t been charged to the optimum level are attracted to the magroller surface and remain on it while undergoing another revolution on the revolving magroller. Continuous agitation and revolving allows the fresh toner material to be tribo-charged in the process. This continuous attraction and holding allows the toner material to be fully utilized and therefore maximizes transfer efficiency.

Through this micro mechanism, AVIVA increases the yield of the toner material through a more efficient transfer and at the same time increases the print density of the toner as it completes its cycle. And AVIVA Magroller Coating maintains its coating layer intact throughout its service cycle, thereby even printing darker as the cycle continues, and maintaining that darker level until the toner is used up. Even a visibly worn out magroller which has lost its texture and coating layer can be rejuvenated with AVIVA to achieve an equally positive result. AVIVA helps remanufacturers achieve homogeneity in the print quality in the toners they produce, time after time, batch after batch.
