What is a transfer belt?
A transfer belt (also known as a transfer roll) is a rotating belt found in most colour laser printers. The transfer belt passes in front of all four toner cartridges, which apply the relevant toner onto the belt. The belt carries the mixture of different toner colours and transfers the toner images onto the paper.
The whole process is quick and only takes a second. The belt also collects any excess toner and sends it to the waste area (usually a waste toner bottle) to avoid toner collecting inside your printer. Please note that not all colour printers have transfer belts. Smaller printers usually have rollers instead of a belt.
When is it time to change the transfer belt?
belts wear out with regular use - how long they last varies between printer brands and models. The printer usually displays a message ‘Replace transfer belt’ when it is time to install a new one. Depending on your printer model, you can check the estimated number of pages it will last for and the remaining life of the belt.
Maintenance of transfer belt
Like many other parts of a laser printer, the life of a transfer belt increases with good maintenance. This involves cleaning it regularly, either manually or by running a software program. Over time, a transfer belt will accumulate toner powder and this build-up of toner can affect the printer’s performance. You will find information on-line as to how to clean a transfer belt.
Signs of problems in transfer belt
A transfer belt can get damaged with repeated use and can carry scratches or other defects. Any problem in the transfer belt manifests in the form of:
- Blurred prints
- Spots
- Light or dark streaks on the edge of paper
- Faded prints
- Colour fringing (i.e., colour distortion where an outline of unwanted colour may appear along the edges of objects)
These signs may indicate that it is time to get a new transfer belt, but the most specific indication is when an error message appears prompting installation of a new belt. You will be able to identify the product you need by filling out the brand and model of your printer in our search engine. Follow the instructions in your printer manual or find guidance online to remove and install a new transfer belt.

Customer Reviews for Transfer Belt Units for Laser Printers Purchase
The usual efficient timely service and delivery.
The toner came in record time. Bought them at night before bed, they arrived the next morning. How is that possible?! Just fantastic. The genuine toner I bought worked perfectly. I have found the staff SO VERY helpful, as I have found, that finding the exact things I need, for my exact printer, a bit tricky on the site, but the support staff have been so patient and helpful. I get them to send me the link I need to purchase whatever. After all the mistakes and refunds I have gone through. It's so much easier. The staff at inkdepot are just amazing.
