I just installed a 2nd ImagePress C1 (I know, I'm a glutton for punishment - but this model prints so beautifully!)
I was getting an 020 code on the yellow, and since that developer unit was an old one I had around, I decided to replace all starters and start fresh.
I followed the procedures, including stirring the developers and aging with the 11x17 sheets. I did clean the ATR sensor window and the shutter.
Now, when I print in Grayscale, it prints nice solid black, and great shades of gray. When I print the same exact sheet in color, the black prints at about 10% and the colors print at about 80% of what they should be.
I cannot do a full gradient adjust because the black is not printing. But it only fails to print the black on the CMYK prints. It's a great B&W machine right now.
Attached is a photo of the Grayscale and CMYK print modes of the same file on the #2 ImagePress. For reference, I included a CMYK sample off my #1 ImagePress which shows nice solid colors. Hoping to get #2 up to par with the quality of #1.
