Then there was that time when I mowed over a pile of used toner in my back yard. The spontaneous combustion shot a flame out from under the mower. I jumped backward. No harm done to the mower, or to me.
But this is different. Terrorists put explosives inside a toner cartridge in an HP printer and packed it for shipping. You've probably heard about it on the news.
It was interesting since SE Laser is in the business of selling and recycling toner cartridges.
First of all, the picture that was shown on many news stories was not a toner cartridge. It was this printed circuit board (PCB), pictured above. This PCB is said to be a mobile phone card. It was actually inside the printer that looks like an HP LaserJet P2055. It appeared to be grounded to the frame along with the standard PCBs, like the formatter and engine control board.
Remember the "Shoe Bomber"? Now, in airports, we are required to remove our shoes for inspection by TSA officials. Will there be similar safety actions taken for printer cartridges?
I doubt any of our customers would have any worries about our cartridges exploding inside their printers. But, just in case you were wondering, our cartridges are remanufactured in N. America.
Instant Savings. Lasting Quality.
