And they read 100%, the old ones read 50%. Printer initially complained the magenta cartridge was counterfeit, but re-seated it and that went away. Great fast color laser with great fast scanner for $65 (I paid nothing for the printer) is a deal! And the gradation correction did make a slight improvement to greyscale, so worth doing. I did go through the various self-cleaning and adjustment operations from the control panel. (Assume there is some light cleaning operation on installation of new cartridges).
Even though I could see the nasty streaking on the transfer belt when I put in the new cartridges. Very first print came out completely clean. (Didn't want to spend a lot in any case, due to not knowing what the problem was.) I took a chance on a $65 (and, actually, I think there was $5-off coupon) set with good reviews rather than a $23 set with so-so reviews, LOL. Last laser I had was a Lexmark color model, a long, long, time ago, so not familiar with current laser printer issues.Īll it needed was a new set of cartridges. It's still useful to have a fast/easy scanner! My brother inkjet printer scanner sucks! Will try to upload some images, had trouble doing an "Images & Video" post, it didn't show anything, will try to insert below.Īny idea what may be causing this? Do I just need new cartridges? Or is ITB/fixing unit shot? Will get progressively cleaner, and then streaky again with subsequent sheets.Ĭleaning ITB sometimes gives a message saying it can't (don't remember the message) but currently will complete, and (I guess do whatever that is supposed to do).
If I run several self-cleans, or several copies (I tried blank pages and test patterns), the front side does get progressively cleaner, until they don't. I can see various color streaks on the rollers themselves, as well. Although gets streaky if I remove/replace cartridges, assume this is "normal" after fiddling with cartridges?īut I can't seem to get rid of front-side streaking. I ran the various self-cleaning modes, and/or run blank pages or test pages, I am able to get the backside of paper clean. Is it common for the third-party cartridges to just report a fake 50% instead of actual remaining capacity? However, the cartridges all read "50%", which is a bit suspicious. They told me they think the cartridges are spent, and will need new cartridges. I got a Canon color ImageCLASS MF733Cdw from a neighbor for free.
