    What is the condition of your ITB unit? I can see colours bleeding over the black prints. Have you done calibration with these prints to try to get the machine to correct the undertaking/grainy image
    If it works, don't touch it.

    you can set the machine to do single color and do a 2 inch sky shot and see the fill for cyan or yellow or magenta

    How to enable single color mode - use SP5-618 change to 0

    Fixing copiers is not a matter of believing the parts counter value is just a guideline, not a guaranteed lifespan.
    Please start you post with brand, model, problem.

    I agree with that statement but for less than 50% of its life? No.My mind goes there difficult for Ricoh parts.99.999% cover their lifetime.I can accept 10 to 20 %

    well if premature failure is a problem... then look at the environment - users - supplies - paper

    does the machine sit unused for a long time? ( staying ready wears down fuser & drums)

    paper weight can make a BIG diff in life of parts

    we all know cheap toner can destroy a unit.

    and lastly.. are they gentle on the machine or rough?

    yields aren't really something that can be depended to go full life... esp with all other factors involved

    Re: mpc 4502 black color quality

    the total count may not tell the whole story - a lot of onesy twosy prints will lead to premature failure too because this adds way more revolutions to the sleeve than you would get if you were doing large jobs regularly
