A replacement Kyocera chip from Static Control
Largest manufacturer of aftermarket imaging systems and components announces achievement.
Static Control announced that it has released over 800 products in the past year “in support of the remanufacturing industry”, with more than 20 replacement chips released in the last few weeks of 2014; including “many regional variants” for Kyocera cartridges.
More than 15 regional replacement chips were released for a variety of Kyocera cartridges, including those for use in FS-2100 printers and M3040 and M3540 MFPs; with the chips able to work in all known firmware, including the V1 serial numbers which had previously “been an issue in some aftermarket offerings”.
In addition, the company launched a universal chip for use in various HP and Canon printers, such as the Canon MF229 and HP M125, M201 and M225 MFPs. These chips “provide full functionality and can simplify production for remanufacturers”. Other replacement chips released were regional variants for use in MLT-D111S and MLT-D116L cartridges for Samsung printers. The company added that Samsung “often releases cartridge SKUs across multiple regions, so customers are encouraged to check the cartridge part number prior to ordering chips”.
As well as chips, Static Control launched replacement toners for use in Samsung MLT-D309 cartridges and Brother HL-2170 printers, with the company stating that the toners “provide OEM comparable image density and page yields”. It also released a shipping protector for use in cartridges for Lexmark’s C736 family of printers, with the two-piece protector including a developer roller cover and a cloth section designed to go in between the doctor blade and developer roller.
Bryan Bonacum, Vice President of Static Control’s North American Sales, said: “We have an extremely busy and very exciting 2015 ahead. We have many new products in development that we are excited about and can’t wait to release.”
