You might check you local area for recycle centers that specialize in electronics who buy copiers, printers, computers, etc. Or you might have a school that offers repair courses that buys broken equipment for students to learn on.

Is there a color copier out there that uses liquid ink instead of powder?
Question by : Is there a color copier out there that uses liquid ink instead of powder?
I find that the powder is very messy and hard to maintain. I’m also looking for a color copier and RIP device that outputs the best quality and takes more than 100lb paper. I know it’s a lot of info but I need ideas. Thanks people!

Printers based on lasers and photosensitive drums use “toner” (powder). Printers based on ink-jet technology use ink.
You can find all-in-one printer/fax/scanners that use an ink-jet to print. HP makes these as well as other vendors.
If you’re just looking for high quality color printers, I would look at “photo” quality printers.

When people ask this question, it’s usually because they’ve spilled a large amount of toner.
Be advised that if you have spilled a large amount of toner, using the printer will cause melted toner to stick to everything and you’ll have to toss it or get it repaired at great expense.
DO NOT USE YOUR HOUSEHOLD VACUUM!
Doing so will pass toner through the motor. The heat will melt the toner, it’ll stick to the motor and you’ll be shopping for a new vacuum.
Don’t do anything to get toner particles airborne. Toner is a carcinogen and the particles can take hours to settle.
Don’t do anything that may apply heat to the loose toner. Once heated, it’ll melt and stick like glue to anything that isn’t Teflon coated.
There are a few options:
1) You can ignore sage advice and use your household vacuum cleaner.
2) You can disassemble the printer and sweep out the spilled toner then wonder why you have one little screw left over after you put it back together.
3) You can dump it upside down and shake the spilled toner out, which will probably break something else.
4) You can call an experienced service technician who has the correct type of vacuum and tools and have them do it for you.
