    Konica C220 print quality problem

    Hello everybody A customer reports quality problems printing on black. He says that wavy print (see file)
    In My opinion The Problem is the BK Development Group.

    Do you have other ideas?SKMBT_C22021071912031.pdfSKMBT_C22021071912030.pdf

    needs a new black DV unit.
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    The medication helps though...

      K developer unit almost developer empty.

        Black developing unit 100%.
        I had the same issue. After replacing it everything was ok.

          Just to add yet another +1 for the K dev unit. Make sure K drum isn't over life as well, replace if it is.

                  Like other poster mentioned replace black drum as well or you will be back there when the developer dumps again from over life drum shorting out.

                    For 4-5 days the printer worked regularly.
                    now the same problem has been presented

                    Now I try to change only the drum bk? or I have to change the dev bk again together with the drum?

                    PS: Can it be a toner hopper problem that does not download toner inside the dev bk?

                      You will need to do both, including K dev unit. Replacing just the K drum won't get your developer back, which is now sitting in your waste toner box, along with the developer from the last dev unit.

                            Which toner are you using? sometimes bad toner also causes developer going in waste. How did you change dv only unit comes as whole... with drum.

                              The black toner is original
