Toner refill kits come packaged with accessories that make the refilling process easier and much quicker. Here’s a rundown of toner refill accessories you’ll find inside the kit.
This plastic plug is used as stopper or sealant to seal toner cartridges following the refill. The plug easily attaches to fill the main hole, if the cartridge subject for refill comes with a fill hole.
If not, toner plugs are used to shut holes created by the toner hole making tool. This is far more effective than using duct tapes for sealing. Toner plugs are sold separately from toner refill kits.

The material is also lint-free and non-abrasive; which making it ideal for cleaning other printer parts that come in contact with toner.

Latex gloves are supplied to prevent toner particles from sticking to the skin in the course of the refill. This is advisable not only in the toner cartridge remanufacturing industry but also in other industries such as automotive, battery manufacturing and even aircraft assembly. Just like the toner wipes, the material has the ability to trap in chemicals and toner powder and therefore prevent skin contact. However, these latex gloves must be disposed after refilling as they become permeable.
