What To Do With A Leaky Toner Cartridge

We all know how irritating it is when the toner cartridge starts leaking. It can happen anytime, but it can be a major problem if it happens while you are using it. You can see a lot of people trying different methods to solve the issue, but there are many who don’t know how to deal with it.

The main reason why we use toner is to clean the skin after using a facial cleanser. But toners are the most effective way to cleanse the skin of impurities like dust and bacteria.

Toner is also very effective to remove the excess dirt from the hair and to keep your scalp clean. So, toner is really important for your skin, but when the toner cartridge becomes empty then it is the right time to replace it.

What To Do With A Leaky Toner Cartridge

There are two types of toner cartridges: a single-use and a refillable toner cartridge. In single-use toner cartridge, the cartridge will only work once and it needs to be replaced after that. Whereas, in the case of a refillable toner cartridge, you will get a new cartridge after every refill.

Refillable toner cartridge:

As we discussed, the refillable toner cartridge is much better than a single-use cartridge. It is because a refillable cartridge can be used for many years.

You don’t have to worry about how many refills you have, because you can use any of your toner to refill it.

Single-use toner cartridge:

  • This is a different type of toner cartridge. The cartridge will work only once and after that you need to buy a new one.
  • It is not a bad thing to buy a single-use toner cartridge, but it is not that cheap. If you have a single-use cartridge then you need to spend $20 or more for a new one.
  • If you don’t want to spend that amount of money, then you can consider using a refillable cartridge. But remember that you will have to spend more for refilling.
  • If you are one of those people who are facing the same problem, then here are the few things you can do to get rid of it.

What To Do With A Leaky Toner Cartridge

  • Let’s start with the obvious – you have to remove the cartridge from the machine and try to check if it is empty. If it is not empty, then you need to throw it away and get a new one.
  • If you have some other toner, then try to use it.
  • The reason is because it might be an issue with the cartridge itself and you need to get it replaced.
  • If you are using the same brand, then you need to replace the cartridge even if it is empty.
  • However, you cannot use the empty cartridge in any other machine.

Clean the machine

You will have to remove the cartridge from the machine and clean it with a brush. Use a cotton swab to remove the old residue that is still on the parts.

If the cartridge is old and has started leaking, then you might need to replace it.

If you don’t want to replace it, then you can also try to apply a little bit of pressure to the cartridge by putting something on it.

Use a cloth or paper

  • If you are using a cotton swab to clean the machine, then you need to apply it to the cartridge. The cotton will absorb the ink and will help to remove the old residue.
  • You can also use a piece of cloth to apply some pressure to the cartridge.
  • You can even try to soak the cotton swab in some alcohol. This will kill the bacteria and will make the ink stay longer in the cartridge.

Apply more toner

If you are using an alcohol-based toner, then you can also try to apply more toner to the cartridge. This will make the cartridge last longer.
