Refill instructions for Kyocera TK-590, FS-C5250 cyan, magenta, yellow

Preparations before refilling:

You will need the following:

Toner Toner (cyan, magenta, yellow) for Kyocera TK-590
3 toner chips (one for each colour)
a soldering iron
textile adhesive tape

It may take a while for the soldering iron to reach its working temperature. Meanwhile you can remove the cartridge from your printer. When the soldering iron has reached its working temperature (275°C) you can melt a filler opening into the cartridge (picture 1). Afterwards deburr the hole thoroughly and make sure that no plastic splinter gets into the hole. We recommend using a small putty knife and cutting off the plastic before it is properly cooled down.

Before refilling the toner cartridge, you should pour out the rest of the toner powder or exhaust it with an aspirator for toner powders. Otherwise the physical and chemical characteristics of the old and the new toner powders could lead to a formation of clots.

How to refill the Kyocera TK-590, FS-C 5250 cartridges:

Shake the toner bottle circularly so that the toner powder seems to be floating. Afterwards, screw the funnel onto the bottle and carefully fill the toner into the cartridge (picture 2). After refilling you can seal the melted filler opening with an apropriate piece of textile adhesive tape (picture 3). The filler opening has to be absolutely leak-free. Through patting it over a white piece of paper, you can check the impermeability. There should not trickle any toner out of the opening.

After you have refilled the cartridge the toner chip has to be changed. It monitors the filling level and signals thrustworthy if you have to refill the cartridge again. The chip has to be changed after every refilling.

Exchanging the chip for Kyocera TK-590, FS-C 5250:

Kyocera cartridges are equipped with RFID-chips, which you usually can not see. At this cartridge type the chip is hidden below a small yellow label.

Now your cartridge is refilled and you can reinsert it into your printer.

Safety instructions for the handling of refill toners

Refill toner and toner powder may cause serious health problems if not handled carefully. We recommend always using breathing protection or suction chambers while filling toner cartridges. Furthermore, toner powder and refill toner can be highly flammable with an appropriate oxygen mixture. Please note as well, that you should touch the photoconductor drum in no case or expose it to direct sunlight. This could lead to faulty print-outs.
