Lexmark 12026XW Photoconductor Kit

The Lexmark 12026XW E120 Drum (Black) is generally well-received by customers, particularly for restoring functionality to aging Lexmark E120 printers. Many users have reported that replacing the photoconductor has successfully resolved common issues such as ghosting, streaking, and smudging on printouts, effectively extending the life of their printers. Customers recommend addressing the replacement of the photoconductor simultaneously with a new toner for optimal results, especially as the unit nears toner depletion. While the product performs as expected, a notable concern is the condition of the packaging upon arrival. Some customers received items in previously opened or used conditions, leading to dissatisfaction regarding the expectation of "retail packaging." This variability suggests potential issues with product handling or quality control that could deter some buyers. Installation of the drum is generally described as straightforward, with users noting it’s as simple as changing a toner cartridge. However, the absence of recycling options for the used photoconductor has been highlighted, with some customers expressing disappointment that it cannot be returned to the manufacturer for proper recycling, unlike toner cartridges. Overall, the Lexmark 12026XW E120 Drum offers a reliable solution for users looking to maintain the performance of their older Lexmark printers, despite some concerns regarding product packaging and recycling options. **
