What is a photoconductor unit?

One of the important components of a laser printer is the photosensitive drum that receives the digitised information from the laser. Depending on the brand this component is known as the photoconductor unit, imaging drum or drum unit. Roughly the size of the forearm, the drum is responsible for transferring toner onto the paper.
 

How often are photoconductor units changed?

The photoconductor units are consumables just like toner cartridges. The printer alerts you when it is time to change the photoconductor unit after printing out a certain number of pages (page yield). Roughly, a photoconductor unit lasts 3 to 4 times longer than the toner cartridge. How often you need to change the photoconductor unit varies with the brand and model. You can check your printer’s specifications to find out the page yield of your photoconductor unit.
 

Handling the photoconductor unit

When you are unpacking and replacing photoconductor units, make sure you observe these precautions:

  • The photosensitive drum, as the name suggests, is sensitive to sunlight and can be damaged even if left for a few minutes inside a room. So, unpack and fit it in as quickly as possible.
  • Do not touch the surface of the drum since the oil and dirt on skin can easily damage the drum’s sensitive surface. Use gloves while handling.
  • Avoid causing scratches to the drum while trying to fit it inside the printer. Any scratches on the drum’s surface can impact print quality.
  • Don’t store new photoconductor units in any place where it may be exposed to a lot of light, heat or moisture.
     

Indications of problems in photoconductor unit

The following issues may indicate that your photoconductor unit needs cleaning or replacement:

  • Black smears
  • Blurry prints
  • Black spots or blotches
  • Poor quality/faded prints

Please note however these indications can also be due to other faulty or worn-out printer components like toner cartridge or transfer rollers. The clearest indicator of a problem with the photoconductor unit is likely to be an error message displayed on the printer screen. Replace your photoconductor unit as soon as you see this message for optimum function and printing.

I purchased an Epson maintenance box for my printer and it turned out to be faulty (no fault of Ink Depot, just a faulty unit). I was refunded in full. I would definitely deal with this company again. Excellent Customer Service.

I have found InkDepot to be very reliable and are as good a price as anyone, I use them all of the time. Delivery is fast, my last order was delivered on the same day of order. There was an error (one ink was the wrong colour, which they noticed before I did!), they notified me of the error and sent the correct one immediately which arrived the next day (the time that this has happened to me after many 10's of orders). I've found Ink Depot to to be very fast with delivery, very reliable and when a rare error occurred, the identified it, corrected it immediately with no issue for me.

Excellent, prompt service once again. On my doorstep 48 hours after ordering. Previous generic toner cartridges have performed well. This time, I also ordered my first drum unit so is too early to report on that product.

Everything good - just a pity about the courier service you use. No notification as to when it was arriving and apparently arrived on a Saturday when I was at home until 3pm. Item was then inconveniently taken to a newsagents some way from my home as opposed to local PO or newsagent.

General FAQ

What is the difference between a laser printer and an inkjet printer?

Laser printers use toner powder and are ideal for high-volume, fast printing with sharp text, while inkjet printers use liquid ink and are better for photo and colour-rich prints.

Are laser printers good for home use?

Yes, laser printers are great for home use, especially if you need reliable, low-cost per page printing for documents, schoolwork, and occasional colour prints.

Laser printers and toners cost more initially but are cost-effective in the long run, while basic inkjet printers are quite cheap. Laser printers can be larger, occupy more space and weigh more than inkjets. Laser printers can handle higher print volumes, print faster and are more efficient than inkjet models.

Which laser printer brand is best for small offices?

Brands like Brother, Canon, and HP are highly recommended for small offices due to their durability, wireless connectivity, and efficient printing speeds.
