Also when doing toner is remember it is a very fine powdered plastic/carbon material. Do not use a vacumn cleaner to clean up old toner as it'll go right through even a pollen filter..Clean out the old catridge very carefully using a soft brosh onto a large sheet of plastic (I use an opened up black bag) and then gently fill the cartidge back up again..
You will get toner on your hands but just wash this off with COLD water as hot water although it won't melt the toner like some believe it will though open up pores which the toner will go into...

Thanks for the tips - presumably surgical gloves would be a good idea. The refill kit on Amazon seems to include new chips which are presumably already reset. I've been looking for some refilling info/tip for these specific cartridges but can't seem to find any.
