A LETTER FROM THE OWNER

 From our 21 years experience in this business, we've come to the conclusion that the easiest way to help Rechargers that hesitate, burnt with bad experience or, don't have extra money to spend, is to provide them with a 20 minute demo video . This Video cost $75.00 plus shipping. The sum of $75.00 is reimbursed when purchasing the system, within 60 days.

 The Video will feature the process of repairing scratches and chips from damaged drums. we should point out that one of the main advantages of the Rotby System is not just the repair of scratches and chips, but also the prevention of future scratches and chips to treated drums. We have especially designed the process to be so easy and simple, so that anyone, even without any special skill, can operate the air-brush system. Therefore our suggestion is:

 Phase one: You start by purchasing the evaluation package that consists of a 20 minute video, PAL, NTSC or others. (we are offering Video and not DVD for the reason that it is easier to play and replay important session on the video).  After reviewing the video, you will see and feel what the Rotby system is about.

 Phase two:  You fill out the purchase order that was emailed to you previously, which includes a minimum amount of chemicals to coat and repair drums, Magnet rollers, charge rollers and wiper blades. The total of this first order including the equipment is still less than the cost of your trip to Rotby, such as cost of flight, hotel, accommodations, transportation and other expenses. Therefore, you better invest this travel money in purchasing the entire Rotby system and play with it on your own. We will supply you with extra instruction, and support needed by- Internet, and video/audio conference with Skype service.
Skype service is almost at no cost). 

 In the event that you didn't get the right touch with the spraying air-brush, we will offer you a technician to train your men at your location at the cost charge. (our goal is to sell you a monthly chemical supply). We've learned that it is more effective to provide the training at customer's site than at Rotby.

 Phase three: If you want to boost up to a mass coating production, then you proceed with the "Carousel"- the automatic mass production recoating machine. All of this is shown in the video demo that is included with the evaluation package 

The conclusion: Start with phase one. Order the Video demo. Invest $75.00 plus shipping cost. You will be reimbursed $75.00 when purchasing the System. Afterwards, follow with phase two, and three.  I hope this and the video will finally convince you towards becoming a Rotby Licensee.

 Best Regards

WHAT MAKES THE ROTBY SYSTEM UNIQUE 

 The Rotby System is the only one of its kind that not  only recoats all laser and copier drums,
also permanently fixes any scratches, chips, black edge, and foggy spots. 

      EVERY drum can be remanufactured without using the QEA (Quality Engineering Associate) test equipment or any other drum testing equipment.

      A/3 "Fog Remover” formula replaces the drum’s missing “Charge Transport Layer” (CTL).

         A/1 Super Amber Pure,  and the C/5, and C/6 Lime Jet formulas
enhance the “Charge Generating Layer” (CGL).

Therefore, any worn drum can be revived and remanufactured.
with the Rotby System

  

    The restored drum has an advantage over the original drum.
 
It has an added UV filter allowing the drum to be safely exposed to light without
 the risk of Ultra Violet light damage.
 
The treatment does not diminish the drum’s sensitivity to the laser beam.

 

  The Rotby System does not require that the drum's generator layer be tested for  the proper thickness.  The Rotby System replaces the Transport Layer and enhances the Charge Generation Layer enabling your company to restore 90% of the drums that you encounter.

 

    The Rotby System also treats and restores  
magnet rollers,
                        charge rollers,
                                                and wiper blades
. 

 

  The Rotby System is a Spraying Process.
 No other system can compete with the smooth, glossy, and accurate micro layer.

  

 The coated drums cure at room temperature in 2-3 hours.
You don’t need any special curing method or sterilized space.

 

 The color of the drum after being coated with the Rotby System can be
altered
as a trademark signature of your company's process.

 

 Rotby Laser Images is not a Recharger that recycles cartridges.
 We are an R&D (research and development) firm that specializes in our own
Recoating and Repair System distributed to Rotby Licensees only.

As such, our engineering team is constantly at work, refining and improving the process. 

 

  We are currently working on a formula and process that will allow a Recharger Dealer
to
produce a new drum from an aluminum tube
without the need for any special skills or sophisticated equipment. 

 This new system, entitled Fluorescent Formulas C and D, along with all
of the improvements that our engineering team develops,
will be made available to Rotby Licensees only.   

 

   Using the Rotby System is 100% effective for coating drums in good condition,
with the advantage that even if you make a mistake during the spraying process,

you can always "strip" the drum and recoat it again
.

 

With the repair of chips, foggy spots or scratches, if you miss on the first shot,
you do not have to strip the coated drum.
Simply, apply the "repair solution" over the missed portion and coat it again. 

  

·        Customer service and satisfaction are top priority at Rotby Laser Images.
We respond to all emails within 48-hours and our offices are open for
phone support from 10:00am to 5:00pm Eastern time Monday through Friday

 

 Rotby Laser Images was the first company to develop a drum restoration system for Rechargers.
 
We bring 21 years of experience and successful operations
to the table in any and all of our business relationships
.


 The formulas in the Rotby System are the result of extensive research and  
development over the past two decades of cumulative experience in the field.
Components treated with the Rotby System
will be restored to
a state that is better than new with a longer life cycle.

The Rotby System is a spray-on process that literally removes the worn Charge Transport Layer before replacing it.  Because of the spraying method used, treated drums are coated evenly and accurately without increasing the diameter of the drum.

 

The Rotby System is based on two processes,
the “Fog-Remover” process and the “Super Amber Pure” process

1 The "Fog Remover" is an etching process that removes the external worn Charge Transport Layer (CTL) from the used drum to makes room for the new layer, without increasing its thickness.
The Fog Remover formula also repairs black edges and foggy spots and applies a new Charge Transport Layer (CTL) to the coated drum.  
This process also prepares the drum by creating an adhesive surface for the second layer to bond to. which is the “Super Amber Pure?”

2. The "Super Amber Pure" enhances the Charge Generator Layer (CGL). It results in a strong and glossy layer. This formula is effective for all Laser Printer Drums,  OPC, after-market drums, as well as Selenium Drums. The formula acts as a hard finish coat with a sensitive characteristic for light beam electric charges. 

 

As for Copier Drums, Rotby is using:  The "Lime Jet Formula" is a positive/reversal process that is used for all kinds of Copier Drums.
Lime Jet Lightener” can repair drums that damage the background of the page with grey and black shadows .
 
Drums that print light print and contrast can also be repaired using
 the "Lime Jet Darkener".  
Usually the non defective copier drums are coated with the "Lime Jet Lightener" because they tend to print dark backgrounds when they wear out.

 Why paying a license fee?  The license fee is used to provide support to our members in the drum/ roller business, and to  continue the R&D to release new formulas. We are currently in the final stages of refining the "

Fluorescent Formula" Part B and C.  The purpose of this Fluorescent Formula is to one day be able to strip the drum to its base and create a system that every "Recharger" will be able to use to produce a new drum from an aluminum tube without the need for any special skills, or sophisticated equipment.

DRUM  ROTATOR

 

  1. The drum rotator is an optional purchase item. We recommend that you will build it on your own. We supply you with all the specification

 

  1. Same as for the air compressor. Generally Recharger has already their own air compressor. All what you have to do is connect the Airbrush System to your air compressor with the Psi that we recommend. The 80 minute Video instruction demonstrates every thing.

 

 

  1.  The drum Rotator spins the drum at high speed, and the air brush scans the drum from edge to edge with a very light even layer. It takes 5-6 scans to coat a drum for one cycle. After coating the drum, you test the drum by installing it back to the cartridge.

   With the Rotby system, you can control the number of cycles from one to three according to the number of spray scans you apply.
      The system is a spraying process, and can be controlled to your specifications.
     
If you decide to save money and time, then coat your drums to last one cycle only.
When your customer returns the drums to you, then you can coat them again.

 

·        The Rotby System is the only one of its kind that not only recoats all laser and copier drums, but also permanently fixes any scratches, chips, black edges, and foggy spots that occur on laser printer drums. 

 

The Rotby System includes an 80 minute instructional video demonstrates this process fully. I've discussed this with my supervisor and we've agreed to send you a 20 minute clip from the video to show you the process of coating, repairing scratches and chips from damaged drums.

 

This video is offered to you for $75.00 including shipping. A sum of $40.00 is reimbursed if you purchase the Rotby System within 60 days.  The video also introduces the unique Rotby Auto-Coating Machine the "Carousel" that handles 12 drums or rollers at once.

 

The 30 minute demo video should answer any of your questions. To truly understand the process, it is necessary to start with this as the first step.  

 

DRUM ROTATOR

SPRAY BOOTH 

You can purchase the same Drum Rotator Spray Booth seen in the video, or you can build locally. We will supply you all specification 

 
 

 

 

Using the Rotby System is 100% effective for coating drums in good condition, with the advantage that if even you make an error with the spraying process, you can always "strip" the drum and recoat it again.   With the repair of chips, foggy spots or scratches, if you miss on the first shot, you do not have to strip it. Simply, apply the "repair solution" over the missed portion and coat it again. The beauty of the Rotby System is that it does not utilize any curing system. Just let the coated drums cure by themselves at room temperature for at least 3 hours. The Rotby System provides a filter to protect the coated drum from being exposed from a direct light, without its effectiveness in relation to the laser beam.

Please note that the Rotby formulas is sold only to the membership. This make you a step ahead of your competitors.
The License fee is deployed on our extensive R&D focused on improving the process. Your membership payment will cover itself through your production in no time. It is for our mutual benefit – You decrease your drum cost, with a reliable coating system, and we benefit by your purchase of the Rotby’s formulas in a monthly routine.  We look forward to doing business with you.

 Once you see the Video and the equipment involved, you will find out the beauty of it. The process is very simple and can be done with no special skill

 

NO TESTING THICKNESS LAYER

VERY IMPORTANT: to note that with the Rotby Drum Coating System, every drum can be remanufactured without using any of drum testing equipment.   Rotby A/3 Defogger "Fog Remover formula" replaces the missing "Charge Transport Layer". Therefore any worn drum can be revived and remanufactured.

 
 

DRUM FROM SCRATCH

 ·        We are currently working on a formula and process that will allow a Recharger Dealer to produce a new drum from an aluminum tube without the need for any special skills or sophisticated equipment.  This new system, entitled Fluorescent Formulas C and D, along with all of the improvements our engineering team develops, will be made available to Rotby Licensees only.   

 

The purpose of the Fluorescent Formula is to one day be able to strip the drum to its base and create a system that every "Recharger" will be able to use to produce a new drum from an aluminum tube without the need for any special skills, or sophisticated equipment.  My guess is that with the release of the new formula the membership fee will sky rise. This point of this e-mail is to convince you to re-consider and become a Rotby Member, the sooner the better.

 

 
 

REPLY OF SENDING DRUMS  TO BE REPAIRED AND COATED

          This is in response to your last email.  Judging from your previous questions, we understand that you already tried other competing systems before turning to Rotby.  We understand your concerns about taking a chance on yet another system.  For that reason, we provided you the package evaluation with the Video demo and coated drums with all necessary information in order to help you with your decision to use Rotby.  We feel that the video have responded to all of your need sufficiently.  Relying on test of the drums that you want to send is "wrong doing" will only confuse you and will not provide the "absolute proof" that you seem to be seeking. 

 

      As you are aware, used drums come with three different types of defects. Drums can be scratched, chipped and with foggy/black spots.  The scratches can vary in depth, the chipped are different in sizes and the foggy/black spots can vary in surfaces.  This makes about 60 grades of defects in drums.

 

          Assuming that your defective drum will be in the range of  55th grade, and we can only fix up to a 50th grades. Will it be fair to say that based on this test that Rotby System "failed"?.  Where is Rotby System's credit for our effectiveness in improving and repairing the defect up to 50th grades.  Or conversely, what if you send us drums with a 10th grade defect and we fix that perfectly.  In that instance, you would not appreciate the full potential of the system.  Remember, there are always situation where the drum is so damaged that is simply not repairable- even using the Rotby System. After all, there is no other System that repair- but Rotby.

 

          Note: If you want to send your drums, consider the cost related and the time consuming. Even though you get your drums back perfectly repaired,  this will not convince you to purchase the system unless you try it on your own. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you invest and purchase the minimum from the Rotby System in the beginning,  and then you will be able to make the decision to purchase the full Complete System.       

 

          All that you need to know is that nothing come close to the effectiveness of Rotby System. Even if we have only a 90% success rate putting your bad drums back to work, with the low Rotby System cost you come out way ahead of the competition.

 

        By purchasing the evaluation package which contains  a video , or DVD/demo. Your investment is only $75.00  which is reimbursed back to you when you purchase the Rotby System within 60 days.

 

 

 

FAQ

"Does this system remove the old CTL from the drum surface and put on a new one?"
    Yes, the Rotby System removes the former layer and recoats the drum, adding a new, higher quality, and longer lasting layer.

"Are the new CTL chemicals compatible with the old CGL ?"
    Yes, the new layers that the Rotby System coats on the drum are completely compatible with all other parts of the drum and cartridge.

"What if the scratches are extended to the CGL, will it also be repaired?"
    If a scratch or chip is deep enough to pass through to the CGL, then it will leave a black line or mark on your print.  While the Rotby System cannot perfectly restore the printing capability of that area of the drum, it can treat the scratch or chip to prevent it from leaving a mark.  The paper will have a blank spot under the area as opposed to a black spot.  This type of solution tends to be perfectly acceptable for text printing, but tends to not be suitable for graphic work.  Scratches or chips that are not as deep can be fully restored.

"What if the CGL laser sensitivity weakens and produces a light print out, can this system do something about it?"
    Yes, using the Fog Remover, the Rotby System fully restores the drum's sensitivity to the laser and results in darker more vibrant prints.

"Is the spraying method in the basic system automated? If not how can you insure regular thickness across the drum surface?"
    No, the basic Rotby System is not automated.  It is administered by hand using a spray-on process.  Each layer of chemical formula that is administered in one scan of the airbrush is extremely thin, and thus mistakes are negligible.  Furthermore, the drum is rotating in the drum rotator during the process resulting in an even coating every time.  The number of scans that you administer determines the number of cycles that the drum will last.  Three scans of the airbrush corresponds to one cycle.  Six scans results in the drum lasting two cycles.  Nine scans will have your drum lasting another three cycles.

"What do you suggest to start with for a basic laser drum repair system and total price for that system?"
   
To start off, we recommend that your purchase the manual system and one of each of every component in the Rotby System.  If in the future your operation expands and you have a need for greater output, then you should consider upgrading to Rotby's automated system, the Carousel, which automatically coats 12 drums at once.  An order form with the required minimum quantities for startup is attached.  Should you decide to purchase the recommended quantity of one of each component, the sub-total before shipping and handling will come to $3,381 USD.

"What is your policy if the results of the system are unsatisfactory?"
    
All sales are final and items purchased from Rotby can not be refunded.  Rotby Laser Images has been providing the Rotby System to Rechargers since 1987.  You can rest assured that you will not attain unsatisfactory results.  Additionally, since our "No License Fee Until 2004" promotion is still being offered, the low cost of the complete system makes becoming a Rotby Licensee easy and with little to no risk.

"Is there any reference that used your system that I can I contact?"
   
No.  Rotby respects all of its licensees' non-disclosure agreements.  Each Recharger using the Rotby System would prefer that its customers believe that their drum restoration process is their own technique.  Rotby respects this preference and does not disclose our licensees to anyone.

          We hope that this letter clarifies the differences. We would like to get your order and not spend additional time on correspondence and avoid delay.  Please use the "Product Fact Sheet" to chose your chemical first order need, and then email it or fax it to us, so we can prepare you the Pro-forma invoice.  If you still have any questions, you may email or fax.  Looking forward to “pinning your flag” at Rotby's map. Your satisfaction is our business.

 

 
 

 

 
 

Q: Do the formulas only work with one type of cartridge and drum?

A. Rotby’s formulas and methods are compatible with all cartridges and drums.  It is literally one product for all.  We have achieved this advantage through rigorous research and development. It is the license fee that supports further development, better serving the needs of all of Rotby’s customers. 

 

Q: Can I use one of the formulas instead of the whole package?

A. The Rotby System is designed as a complete method. Each application is part of a system which when used together achieve the best results. You will never get adequate results if you use only one type of application.  When you purchase the complete system, the equipment and video training will provide you with the skill and the means to achieve the best print.

 

Q: Why the license fee?

Why the license fee?  The license fee is used to provide support to our members in the drum/ roller business, and to  continue the R&D to release new formulas. We are currently in the final stages of refining the "Fluorescent Formula" Part B and C.  The purpose of this Fluorescent Formula is to one day be able to strip the drum to its base and create a system that every "Recharger" will be able to use to produce a new drum from an aluminum tube without the need for any special skills, or sophisticated equipment.

 

Q: My printing is considerably darker since recoating/repairing my drums.  Is the printer consuming more toner?

A: The printer is NOT consuming more toner.  We are 100% certain about this. The new layer does not lose any toner to the white background and there is practically nothing in the reservoir tray.

 

Q: What is the final coat supposed to look like?

A: The final finish coat is glossy shinny and little Green/blue glaze

 

Q: How many cycles will the recoated drum last?

A: The recoated/repaired drum can be made to last one, two or three cycles depending on your preference.  The recoating/repairing system is a spray on process.  Three scans of formula sprayed across the rotating drum with the airbrush corresponds to one cycle. Six scans corresponds to two cycles and nine scans results in the drum lasting three cycles.

 

Q: What is the difference between the Rotby System and “Drum Renewal”?

A: “Drum Renewal” is a process that protects the original drum only.  The process is not accurate and it does not repair any imperfections in the drum.  Unlike “drum renewal” the Rotby System repairs drums that are scratched, chipped and printing black edges as well as providing a filter that protects the coated drum from being exposed to direct light, without losing its effectiveness with respect to the laser beam.  These advantages can not be found in any other method.

Q: Do I need any drum testing equipment to remanufacture drums?

A: No.  EVERY drum can be remanufactured without using the QEA (Quality Engineering Associate) test equipment or any other drum testing equipment.  The Rotby A/3 Defogger "Fog Remover formula" replaces the missing "Charge Transport Layer".  Therefore any worn drum can be revived and remanufactured

 

Q: What type of curing method does the Rotby System utilize?

A: There is no curing method or system.  Just let the coated drums cure by themselves at room temperature for at least three hours.

 

 

 
 

 

 Q: Is it possible to the system in action first hand before purchasing?

A: More often than not it is far more cost effective to purchase the evaluation package rather than coming to our Massachusetts facility.  Considerations are made on a case by case basis.

 

Q: Can all drums be repaired using the Rotby System?

A: There are occasionally drums that are so damaged that can not be repaired even with the Rotby System.  Drums can have scratches of various depth, chips of various size, and foggy spots of various surface area.  Taking into account these factors it is estimated that imperfect drums can range in grade from 1 to 100 (1 being the lightest damage, 60 being the worst).  With this in mind the Rotby System can repair drums up to the 90th grade or 90% of imperfect drums.  There is NO other system out there that can repair ANY drums let alone 90 percent.

 

Q: Is this new?

A: Not at all.  Rotby has been in the recoating business since 1986.  The system has improved drastically since that time but no one has yet to offer anything in comparison.  Rotby is the industry’s best.  You’ve tried the rest, now go with the best.

 

Q: Can we buy the Rotby formula locally in our country?

 A: for your question about buying the others formulas locally in
Philippines. Well these formulas are result of years of research by the staff of Rotby. They are unique, and not sold to anyone but to Rotby licensees. In fact, should you decide to become a Rotby Licensee, you will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to keep the trade secret, and you will not be allowed to resell, and/or to reveal these formulas to anyone

 

Q: Why the Rotby process is expensive?

 A: In response to your question about a cheaper process, the Rotby method is a cheap process, compared to a replacement aftermarket drum. The cost of  one application is 0.40 cent instead of the cost of a new aftermarket drum. The problem is that, shipping flammable material  overseas has additional  costs and government regulations. The cost is a fixed/flat fee for shipping  one bottle or 100 bottles.

 

 

OTHER PROCESS

“Other cheap process” All other competitors have a process that protects the original drum only. It’s a buffing or swabbing the drum with a cosmetic layer. Their process does not help and it does not hurt either.  The process is not accurate and it does not repair any imperfections in the drum.  Unlike “them” the Rotby System repairs drums that are scratched, chipped and printing black edges as well as providing a filter that protects the coated drum from being exposed to direct light, without losing its effectiveness with respect to the laser beam.  These advantages can not be found in any other method
