Hi guys,
I wanted to ask, if anyone knows, if C7100 and C9100 use the very same toner?
I would assume so, but what confuses me: C9100 toners are rated for higher or even much higher page count, even if they weight the same?
On the other hand - if you look at alibaba, many seller offer toner powder - a single product/SKU - for "C5100, C7100, C9100".
I also looked at MSDS for C7100, C9100 and also C5100 and indeed, they seem identical, - of course, they don't mention the exact toner composition, but ranges are the same, - on the other hand they differ from both C751 and C7200 which have different formulations, so this could support the theory, that Cx100 Printers are indeed using the same powder.
If the pulver is compatible - is it the same bottle, but just a different top (I mean the part, which is black on C7100 and gray on C9100 series, which is easily removable)? There are multiple small barcodes and qr codes on every of them, and they are also physically coded (different rectangle patterns - for color, probably), - so would it be enough to mount the C7100 caps on C9100 toner containers?
In my country (Germany), C9100 toner is very affordable, - and C7100 got more expensive lately, to the extent, where it sometimes cost 80-100% more, related to the C9100 toner. So if possible, we would like to change, as we are otherwise quite happy with our C7100x (after we recently replaced the black developer unit and got rid of banding).
Thanks.
