    Hello:

    This Canon iR C4080's Yellow (Y) is too dark (the Cyan (C) is off too). Please see attached pdf. What adjustments should be made?

    What kind of toner products are u using_?
    Canon OEM or third party_?

    Are you doing your calibrations_?
    Full Auto*

    How old are Drums_?
    Have a Fiery connected_?

      Yes, all toner and drum products are OEM. The K and M drums were recently replaced, their life is at 3 and 5 respectively. C is high at 183, and Y is higher at 252.

      I have performed all the auto calibrations.

      There is no Fiery connected.

      I believe I will have to manually adjust the yellow, (and maybe the cyan).

        The Yellow & Cyan Drums need to be replaced.
        The starter to toner mix is exhausted.
        That equals = overtones/saturation.

          Thanks for the advice! However; the problem has corrected itself. The yellow is now perfect Some important background information: the machine had been in storage for 9 months. Has only 7000 on the counter. After resetting the factory defaults, and about 100 prints later, the yellow came back to normal. It is now fully back to operating condition.

            U mean 7000 on 101 total counter ?
            Hard to believe that.on this old model.

            Drums \ Toner will deteriorate if left in storage
