    [CQ] Bizhub C451 print problems in thick mode

    Hello,

    I need help with printing in thick paper setting. This problem did not show up until today and seems to get worse the more I print. It does not show up in plain paper setting on plain paper. I have attached 2 pictures, one printed on thick 3 setting with 80 lb cover and the other on plain paper setting with plain paper. I ran the color test in service mode which was done on plain paper and did not see any problems. Even when printing a picture on plain paper setting, picture looks good. Printing the picture on any thick setting, I get the same problem in the same area of the page.
    Also, prints with same problem when making a copy. Please Help!

      Ouch, what a waste of time.
      A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
      Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

        You might need a fuser unit. If you run a lot of thick stock the fuser units life is shortened considerably, especially with the older models.

          Tried another one. Nothing changed. It could be from transfer belt or transfer roller? I am not familiar with these machines. Mostly Ricoh. Thanks again

            Wouldn't be the transfer belt or roller if only one color is affected. If only one color than I would look at that color image unit being low on developer.
