SIMPLE
I was leaning towards buying a new toner cartridge and opt'd out buying the toner refill. Very simple to unscrew two screws and a plastic lid. Pour the ink in and put everything back together. Didn't have to swap out the chip at all - worked right out of the gate. I don't do much heavy printing anyways, but keeping the chip for backup.Only thing that I would suggest is to wear a face mask so you don't get any ink residue that might catch airborne.This is a no brainer install and will save you money. I will definitely purchase this again..

Worked perfectly for P2502W printer and PB-210E cartridge
After refill printer web page shows remaining amount of toner to be 100% as it was 0% before I started. I have PB-210E cartridge which requires couple screws to be removed from one end to access the refill hole. The drawback of 210 cartridge is that there's no plug to empty the used toner or waste toner as they call it in the instructions that came with the kit. You might want to get PB-210R or PB-210RB cartridge which, as far as I've seen in the pictures, have removable plug to empty the waste bin. I probably need to drill a hole to my 210 unit to get the waste toner out although I'm not sure how fast it fills if at all. The chip that came with the kit was for PB-211 cartridge but that does not matter it was same size and fit perfectly. All that said I'm very happy with spending 10 minutes to refill and saved about $40.

Instructions were incorrect for my printer...
Excellent value when compared to paying $50 plus for a toner cartridge.For my cartridge, I only had to open one end of it. But, it works perfectly! Buying another one or two for future fills.

THIS EXISTS?!? Am I on planet earth???
Was SHOCKED to find an OEM toner refill kit that's actually really from the manufacturer!?!?Isn't it a known thang that Manufacturers bank on the hopes that customers return and buy their refill toner cartridges that in most cases cost more than the original printer itself.. I'm referring to laser printers, I know this doesn't apply to other types but I don't have experience with them.Anyway, I've had my printer for 5+ years, the original starter cartridge it had lasted that long. So I'm hoping I'll have similar performance from this refill kit.What else can I say, I was expecting to pay $50-60 for an OEM cartridge but then found this kit and bought it right away, it came less than a week. Filled it up, I recommend watching YouTube vids on the process of refilling it.There was one video where the dude didn't empty his cartridge first, before filling it with the new powder, but I opted to empty it first, I don't know if it affects anything but I can attest to having perfect printing, no signs of it being refilled. In the past, I remember my dad refilled on one of his printers and some prints would have excess powder on the prints, of course that powder leaked through out the printers internals, kind of a big mess, but that wasn't the case here, everything is squeeky clean.I probably should buy another refill kit, in case the OEM changes it's mind and takes this kit off the market. A big factor of refilling cartridges is the chip that acts as a limiter to the amount of prints a cartridge has, that usually complicates the refill job and imitating the chip can be difficult for those that resell ink, but this kit is supplied with the original chip as this kit is directly from Pantum so the only drawback here is performing the refill. It takes about 5 mins, I have a shop vac I used to vacuum the old ink out of before filling the new ink.I can't stress enough to watch those YouTube vids before doing the refill. I think it did come with instructions which I ignored cuz a video I watched mentioned it didn't pertain to my particular printer. There's a range of printers this kit can be used for so the instructions were kind of generic, which is why the videos were so much more helpful. By the way, no drilling holes necessary, the starter cartridge has a predrilled hole and cap already installed, it's accessible after removing 2 screws on the end of the cartridge. This is covered in the videos.But anyway, I recommend 💯% , in fact I'm gonna buy another kit now in case they take them off the market!

Toner package kit came with refill toner and the chip for my PB-210S cartridge
Everything came as described. The package included a tube of refill toner, a replacement chip, and print instructions for a cartridge that was not mine.Fortunately, I was able to get some instructions on YouTube for replacement. #1, I didn't need to drill a new hole for a PB-210S cartridge. I did need to unscrew the screws on the side with the actual waste hole to dump out ALL of the old waste toner. I should have done this OUTSIDE. It didn't care how careful I was, I would make a mess.After replacing the toner and the chip, I secured everything back except for one spring clip (still don't know where it went, and I took BEFORE pictures). I cleaned up the excess toner and put the PB-210S cartridge into my Pantum P2502W printer. Everything worked like a charm.Would I recommend this kit? Absolutely. Did I need to be an expert? No. Did I need to be slightly handy with a tolerance for a mess? Yes. Was this harder than refilling ink cartridges? Absolutely not.This kit was worth the money.

Wanna get REAL dirty?
I was impressed by the low cost and the OEM brandname, but the instructions are printed SO tiny (and in so many languages) they were nearly impossible to read. They refer to taking covers off" of holes which don't have covers, so I got out the drill and carefully opened up the waste toner hole and emptied it carefully- no harm, no foul.Next, I got to the instruction to open the hole to refill, and again, it wasn't a "hole", so I had to drill it out. Not a huge problem, but that's when the job got very dirty indeed, as there's no way of knowing "how much" of the toner to put in... so I, being a newbie, filled it up with the whole tube, which appears to have been FAR too much toner, as it is pouring out of every hole imaginable (except for the waste toner and fresh refill holes, which I dutifully taped over).Even after shaking it vigorously in an attempt to reduce the amount of toner, the first time I replaced the cartridge and tried to print, the paper jammed, and there's obviously too much toner in the unit now, as there's excess on the gears, the paper feeder, etc.Save your self a TON of aggravation and mess, and just buy the replacement cartridge... refilling is NOT worth the $40 difference, even for this $92 printer.
