Can I Refill My Hp 1006 Toner By Myself?

This is a very good question and the simple answer is yes ! It’s extremely easy to refill the Hp1006 Toner with new toner, just make sure you get quality chemical compatible toner and not some cheap replacement rubbish.

You’ll need to buy a little kit to make a hole, and some replacement toner. Remember if you’re refilling the starter cartridge you get when you buy the printer that these are smaller so you’ll probably only need half the toner to refill this particular cartridge.

Problems with HP 1006 Toner Refill

The only slight complication with the HP1006 Toner refill is the computer chip, if I remember correctly you need to replace the chip to get rid of the replace toner message that comes up on the printers display. It also enables the status supplies report, and the toner low and out reports.
It’s not very difficult to replace just slots in place of the original chip – only takes a few seconds.
You obviously have to add the cost of the replacement chip which is about £10/$15 from the supplies place I use.

If you are looking for a good company inside Europe, to supply the HP1006 toner refill kits at about 80% savings then try these guys out – TonerTopup They are really reliable, unfortunately I don’t know any North american firms to recommend yet for the HP 1006 Printer refills.

    Yep the HP 1006 is quite easy to refill I believe, it just needs a bottle of compatible toner and one of the refilling kits you can buy.

    I’ve not done one of those cartridges myself but they look the same as most of them and no chips to mess with.

    Check out the firm I use, they will sell you the kit and send you step by step instructions. The HP1006 toner cartridge is the sort we all should be refilling.
