Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Value is definitely 5 stars. What you receive for the price with this kit is outstanding. The only reason I gave this kit 4 stars vs. 5 is because the directions recommend cutting a 1" x 1" square as a refill hole. This is done by heating up the end of a (preferably old) utility knife with a lighter and then cutting the hole by melting your way through the plastic. It's quite easy actually. What I did was to cut out a 1" x 1" square of a label and stick it in place and then cut around it with my utility knife.
Now here is where my rating drops from 5 stars to 4 stars: I would STRONGLY recommend rather than the suggested 1" x 1" square hole, cutting a 3/4" by 3/4" square hole instead. Unfortunately cutting 1" x 1" leaves too little room to tape over the hole when you're done, making it possible for toner to escape no matter how much tape you use. This should not be a problem once the cartridge is back in the printer if one tapes it up enough, but shaking lightly side to side to distribute the toner, I could see some toner was escaping even though I used a LOT of tape. With a 3/4" by 3/4" square this would not be an issue. It would require being more careful when pouring in the toner, but that's not a big deal in my opinion.
To make this kit even better (and close to foolproof) I would suggest that Laser Tek include 3/4" by 3/4" plastic stick-ons that one could cut around, as well as a plug to use rather than tape once the cartridge is filled. Tape could be used over the plug as secondary containment.
All in all a great kit for a great price, but again, cut your square 3/4" by 3/4" rather than 1" by 1" to give yourself plenty of space around all sides of the square to affix the tape securely when you're done.
