Review on Lexmark C5240YH High Yield Return Program Laser Toner For Lexmark C524/C532/C534 by King Reeves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Horizontal banding - defective rolls.

Order and ship from Forevertoner with the advert "This item comes without the original packaging, this is OEM new. Don't overpay for the box." The item came in a sealed foil pouch in a box with other (black and magenta) cartridges. Lexmark C500 toner cartridges contain cylinders and doctor blades to measure the constant thickness of the toner for development .Foil pouches do not provide mechanical protection.Although the squeegee smooths the concentric surface of the toner on the roller, the surface of the roller under the toner has obviously been damaged, possibly due to the pressure of the other rollers supplied in the same box, causing the thickness of the toner layer to decrease varies around the roller, resulting in periodic vertical changes in cyan toner density (horizontal streaks) on printouts InkdirectsCom's cyan cartridge (in a double box; the Lexmark inner box was intact) has fewer streaks, although more than the original, and too many for near-photographic image quality. Since the packaging was intact, ha t perhaps the packaging material in contact with the pinch rollers damaged them? There are no obvious date codes on the Lexmark box. Upgrade your rating from 2 to 3 stars as the InkdirectsCom cartridge print quality is good enough for business graphics and small images.
