US cartridge remanufacturer’s Secondary Cleaning System (SCS) technology said to address colour quality issues in remanufactured cartridges.
MSE has announced that its SCS technology is now patented, with the technology designed to eliminate colour quality issues common amongst remanufactured cartridges, such as streaking, backgrounding and overall dirty prints resulting from toner additive build-up on the PCR (TAB).
The technology was introduced by MSE in 2010 for use in HP 4600/5500/4700 “Intelligently Re-engineered” colour toner cartridges, with Luke Goldberg, Senior Vice President of MSE, commenting: “This innovation was heralded as the very definition of Intelligent Re-engineering, as it was – and still is – the only instance of an aftermarket toner manufacturer developing a new critical cartridge component that was not present in the original.”
Also commenting on the technology, Yoel Wazana, President of MSE, said: “The SCS was always designed with scalability in mind. We are now using SCS in over 15 models. We have actually seen improvements in OEM print output when we install our SCS into original cartridges. The results are overall cleaner prints and less toner build-up on the PCR. We invested heavily into this development, and I personally oversaw the testing and approval of the SCS when we printed over 1 million test pages. As a matter of fact, my office was stacked to the ceiling with prints, and we saw clean prints page after page.”
Jesus Gonzalez, Research and Development Engineer at MSE who was instrumental in the development of the SCS technology, added: “We even developed and produced our own custom bracket to hold the PCR and SCS in place because we didn’t want any variable to hinder what we had accomplished. At MSE, we have always prided ourselves on taking technological challenges head-on.”
