How to Replace a Refurbished Fuser Film Sleeve: Fix Heat-Related Print Issues

Date: 2025-11-29 Category：News Views：32

If your prints come out with melted smudges, the fuser film sleeve (the heat-resistant layer in the fuser unit) is worn. Here’s how to install our refurbished sleeve:

Disassemble the fuser unit：Remove the fuser (see our earlier guide), then use a screwdriver to open the unit’s casing.
Remove the old sleeve：Gently peel the worn sleeve off the fuser’s heating element (don’t scratch the element).
Prep the new sleeve：Apply a small amount of fuser grease (included with our unit) to the heating element (this prevents sticking).
Install the sleeve：Slide our refurbished sleeve over the element—align the tabs with the unit’s guides.
Reassemble & test：Put the fuser unit back together, reinstall it in the printer, and print a test page (no smudges = success).

Our fuser film sleeves are made from OEM-grade heat-resistant material—they handle 200°C+ temperatures without warping. We include free grease and a mini-screwdriver with bulk orders.
