Do you need to "seel" unused laser printer cartridges.

[TLOlczyk]

When first putting in a laser printer toner cartridge, there is
typically a strip of plastic blocking the region where toner meets
drum. I plan to refill several old cartridges and use them for
"scratch" printing and keep a good cartridge for important
printing.

Is it going to be a problem to save a good cartridge without
the plastic covering?

If you are going to store the refilled cartridges in the back of a
pickup truck that constantly runs over rough roads at high speeds, then
you would need the internal sealing.

If you send the cartridges through the mail or other shipping means
where they may be tossed and tumbled, then you would like to have the
toner sealed.

If the cartridge just stays on the shelf in a lightproof box and with a
pretty moisture proof wrapping, then you probably don't need the sealing
tape stuff at all.
