About to permanently give up on laser technology, please help
Re: About to permanently give up on laser technology, please help
100% coverage??? ONE HUNDRED FREAKING PERCENT????? FULL PAGE?? Yes, you, my friend will never keep a laser machine service contract.
You def. need ink machines, or a Xerox phaser solid ink printer if you're going to plaster massive amounts of full page, full coverage prints.
Better yet, go buy a wide-format plotter. Of course, you're going to go broke buying all that ink no matter what you buy, so have fun with that!!
......is yours a joke post?????

Bullsh*t! You pay no attention to them and keep posting. Some of my favorite threads on here were started by you. Oh the joy and laughter I get reading from reading them. Here I was thinking about taking a nap, but then I stumbled upon half a dozen or so of your threads that I haven't read yet.
In answer to your question, yes it would help to see a sample of how it's printing. It could be several things.

It's only the cover page of a 50 page document that is 100% coverage, not every page I print of course. With original cartridges that would make a sheet of paper worth $50.
If you buy ink by the liter like I do with my inkjet, the cost per page (including printheads that last 60 000 prints) is on average half a cent, and that's for real life prints that probably average 20% coverage, so a 100% coverage on my inkjet costs me 2.5 cents.
However, this is a document I want to be water proof, however new inkjets use waterproof ink so I may abandon laser, or at the very least get a much bigger one because 2800 prints at 5% if a joke when I'm used to get 50 000 prints at 20% coverage with inkjet.
To get back to the print defect, the horizontal bands did cover the page from edge to edge, they were not limited to only the printable area of the paper. I also remember a print job 1-2 weeks ago of plain back and white text and several of the sheets had one or more of these full width black bands.
The issue seems to be gone for now, but I'd still like to know the cause and how to prevent it.

Apparently not, since you haven't told me how.

Abba1, you should think about writing a column for printing magazines or do a youtube channel about rants and raves in the printing and office equipment industry.
Here's an article that might interest everybody. This guy lays the smack down on the copier industry compared to printing presses.
