Re: C452 Light patch on halftone prints

This engine destroys fusers when used exclusively on A3, they will start to crumble the pink sponge under the sleeve at around 40-50k and by 100k the entire sleeve shreds. Absolutely nothing can be done about it either, had multiple brand new machines out of the box doing it at one customer till we gave them something with a real fusing unit - not this instant on induction rubbish.

The more A3 a customer prints the more likely the fuser is to fail before end of life.

That leads to only one conclusion. The LFR shaft should be from non ferrous material if it ain't already.

Thanks for your input EarthKmTech! Always valued!

I'll check the A3 count and post it here so we get idea, respectively the life of fuser in my scenario.
Haven't had this issue with C650 though which is older version of engine and also using induction.

We do have one C452 that has 2 million clicks and had 2nd fuser replaced at 1.5m. True is that they do A4 predominantly and BW print 90% of it use.

Not sure what they changed in the 654 series but they seem to actually last.

Though as with all the 4 series fusers they start to squeak before end of life, instead of pulling them apart to lubricate them I just replace them if the rollers are starting to look worn.
