KM CS 3050 Copy Quality Problem ?

[Executechs1315]

I have 2 3050's that have been well maintained, cleaned etc... Both have about 400K Prints on them. The copies/prints have marks on them that look like a Bicycle ran over the page. Example: ( <<<<<<< ) I am guilty of using Katun Generic Toner, usually this company has high quality toner and never had a problem with them.

After a good cleaning the problem goes away, but recently it coming back more frequently.

Has anyone seen this in the field.

Thanks

You answered your own question, generic toner. Also @ 400k a pm is needed replacing the dv, drum, fuser and tfr roller. Has that been done?

What your probably seeing is called 'mottling' in Canon terminology.

It only happens with mono-component toner. If the mag roller is touched with your fingers, you'll leave enough finger oil to create a clump of toner on the roller that will create a re-occurring artifact every 35.75 mm. You can dry wipe the affected areas of the developing roller with a cotton towel or webril. High humidity can create the same effect.

Generic toner is much more susceptible to this problem. =^..^=
