Kyocera improved intervals for replacement photoconductor drums
Post by (Toner Cartridge)
The printer manufacturer Kyocera has developed a new coating for photoconductor drums. The service life and thus the change intervals for the drums themselves vary greatly.
With the new coating approximately one million pages of printing are possible. Thus managed the Japanese company, the number of pages for a drum to three times to increase. So far, an a-Si drum came to only about 300,000 pages. A picture or photoconductor drum is a drum unit that is used in laser printers and copiers. The photoconductor drum is a basic component of the entire drum unit represents the drum transmits images on paper. Responsible for the metal roller is provided with a semiconductor thin coating. It is at this point Kyocera sat on the research.
Has made possible the improvement of the use of amorphous carbon. This is also known as a-C thin film. It protects the surface of the drum is ideal, so a wear is delayed. The newly created drum surface is five times enhanced compared to the previous models. So that users are rarely forced to replace the drum. A further advantage of this development is the reduced energy requirements.
According to Kyocera has become unnecessary due to the warming up of the coating drum. So far the company has not provided any of their devices commercially available with this innovation. Therefore remains to be seen when the international market can expect the release of Kyocera laser printers. The photoconductor drum is suitable for black-and-white and color printing. In color printing, the processing time can take up to four times longer than the B / W printing. Commercially available disposable image drums are for HP Laserjet laser printer Samsung ML and models from Canon, Lexmark and Xerox.
