This is the DocuColor 252 series machine.
I've got 10's of millions of prints on several machines from this series, but this is a fairly new issue for me, and I can't figure out a reason.
Mostly on the black drums, though occasionally on the color drums as well. When it is on the color drums, it is USUALLY fairly close to the end of its life cycle anyway, so I never thought too much about it.
But within the last 2 or 3 months, on several different machines, I've had 5 or 6 black drums develop a pit mark, which you can actually see on the drum surface, within 15 or 20 percent of being brand new. Black drums (normally) last so long.
All genuine Xerox supplies.
Did Xerox have a bad batch of drums? Static damage (though static doesn't seem high right now)? I have absolutely no idea...
Thanks in advance!
