Claim:
1. A method of refilling a replenisher cartridge for an electrophotographic machine, the replenisher container containing toner and carrier particles, the method comprising: receiving a replenisher cartridge for refill; determining a weight of the replenisher cartridge; determining a weight of residual material in the replenisher cartridge by subtracting the weight of the replenisher cartridge from a reference empty replenisher cartridge weight; determining a weight of carrier particles in the weight of residual material by; determining a weight of residual toner by subtracting the weight of carrier particles in the residual material from the weight of residual material; adding an amount of toner to the replenisher cartridge determined by subtracting the weight of residual toner from a reference weight of toner for a filled replenisher cartridge; and adding an amount of carrier particles to the replenishment cartridge determined by subtracting the weight of residual metal from a reference weight of carrier particles for a filled replenisher cartridge.
