    did you run adjusts/inits on items replaced?

    OEM parts/supplies?

    did you re-check all contacts?

    post the BC pages for the bias/volts settings...

    Why did you replace the transfer unit?

    Does the issue only happen in mono?

    run the colour test prints in service mode this will help you narrow down the cause.

    You need to give more info.
    total b/w and color meters on machine,using OEM/AFTERMARKET TONERS?
    Why did you change ITB belt?torn worn? and didnt change the cleaning unit??????
    did you try sing color copies?
    is the copies from 1 tray or 81/by 11 reduction..
    hows the fuser look?

    So you did not like the answers we gave you on your previous thread and thought we would answer a new thread differently? If one of my junior techs had ignored advice and replace an expensive assembly, he would be looking for a new job.

    Clean the ID sensors/optics and then run ACC.
