It’s always a relief when aftermarket manufacturers like Mito step up to the plate for brands like Pantum, especially when we’re talking about high-volume workhorses. As someone who has cleared a thousand paper jams, I know that for a “Super Dealer” or a busy office, the real value isn’t just the price—it’s how many thousands […]
It is a common misconception that companies like HYB (HaoYinBao Group) only deal in toner cartridges and copier drums. In a move that signals a serious pivot toward the “smart office” ecosystem, HYB recently announced that three of their new interactive flat-panel displays—the HYB-IPD862, HYB-IPD861, and HYB-IPD866—have officially cleared the rigorous certification hurdles required for
While I usually spend my time fighting with paper sensors and fuser sleeves, the real “war” in our industry often happens in a courtroom.

That is why the latest news
As a technician who has spent years in the field, I’ve seen the “compatible vs. OEM” debate play out in real-time. But in 2026, the aftermarket is getting smarter. Kingway Image Tech (a subsidiary of Ninestar) has just dropped a major release: Starink-brand compatible toner cartridges specifically engineered for Kyocera’s EvolutionNext series of TASKalfa A3
As a technician who has spent years troubleshooting Kyocera paper jams and performing P2235dn maintenance resets, I know that the “brain” behind the hardware is just as important as the rollers and gears. Big news is coming out of Kyocera’s headquarters: Christopher Rheidt has been appointed as the new President of Kyocera Document Solutions Europe,
In my line of work, “clean” usually refers to a drum unit free of dust or a scanner glass without smudges. But for Ricoh, “clean” has a much bigger meaning.
