I am refilling a laser printer with cheaper toner bought in a bottle. It was suggested to not overfill. Are there any dangers to overfilling?
Can it damage the carthridge or printer? Produce blackened pages? Increase amount of powder used per page?
I am refilling my laser printer Samsung CLP 365. Toner supplier attached some not very impressive instructions paper that looks like just copied off google frankly. (Not in english)
It says toner cartridge should be refilled with a pre-measured amount to only half the cartridge capacity. Is this really necessary? I cannot find any instructions on the internet that also say that. There are many videos on YouTube showing how refilling is done, neither mentions it.

From Can a Laser Printer Cartridge Be Overfilled?:
Toner is constantly turned over and "tilled" with internal mechanisms that even out the toner. It must be a "loose" fill it can't be "packed" tight when the chamber is closed.
