Has it ever passed your mind that you might need toner dust filters for your office printers, copiers or fax machines? Recent studies have started to raise further concerns about the levels of pollution in an office, or confined space, that loose toner dust can create and the possibility of ensuing medical conditions arising from contact with any toner dust. Dependant on the type of printers, copiers and fax machines you have, it might be possible to fit toner dust filters that can reduce the risk of any toner dust becoming airborne; thereby reducing any risks to anyone working in close proximity to the machines. This issue is by no means a new one; over twenty years ago concerns were being raised about copier toner dust particles!
Individual toner dust particles are either micro or nano particles. This means they are either one millionth of a meter wide (0.000001m - micro) or even one billionth of a meter wide (0.000000001m - nano) - or put another way, to all intents and purpose they cannot actually be seen individually. So, if when you’re changing a toner dust cartridge or re-filling a container and you actually see some toner dust - you are in actual fact probably seeing hundreds of thousands if not millions of particles. Whilst to some extent - what you can see you can deal with - the problem is those smaller amounts of toner dust that you can’t see. Fitting toner dust filters such as those available from micronAir Office, to your laser printers, is the only way that you can be sure you’re doing all you can to reduce the risk of having airborne toner dust in your working environment.
The manufacturer of the printer, or other appliances using toner dust, will undoubtedly suggest that you buy their toner dust filtering products. However, as you’ll already know, buying such products from the original manufacturer can be much more expensive than needs be. As with most things these days over the internet you can find dust filters for just about any make or model of laser printer, copier or fax machine - at a fraction of the cost compared to those from the original manufacturer. Of course you need to satisfy yourself that the product you’re buying is 100% compatible with your machine and will be 100% effective. If you’re buying toner dust filters for laser printers then you’ll be best advised to use a specialist laser printer toner dust filters supplier like micronAir Office; for other machines generating dust particles, there are other specialist companies that can supply toner dust filters suitable for a range of other uses like DexWet - who produce extremely effective ‘wet’ or moist filtering systems.
