Probably because the developer part of the PCU is beyond factory specs?

Re: Print Quality

manufactures specifications are 40k and the information sheet of the printer go through half of its useful life.

Re: Print Quality

The manufacturer specifications do not apply to a machine that is being run outside said specifications. Bear in mind these machines are office colour printers, supposed to do an average of 5% coverage. They are not, in any way, photo quality production machines.

Re: Print Quality

I understand what you tell me, but at first the leaves came out with a shine and gave the deep colors. I imagine that I can achieve all drum changing half his life with new ones.

Re: Print Quality

If you have not yet cleaned the laser shield glasses and the image density sensor assembly, you need to do so.

Re: Print Quality

You mean the tool is to clean the plastic bar that is at the door from front, with that I've cleaned many times but everything remains the same. where before the printing quality was shiny and black deeper, now it is dull and grainy black more. as you clean the image density sensor assembly?

Re: Print Quality

Cleaning the image sensor is in the service manual.

Re: Print Quality

that part because brightness when printing on a laser printer,
OEM compatible toner may not be the cause of the loss of brightness or print any component as the fuser.

The developer material is probably done. Replace that and you should be good to go. Make sure the fuser is in good shape too. Also make sure the mag roller is clean before you add the new developer.
On a lighter note, while I have never been to Cuba, I have been led to believe the weather there is rather tropical. If that actually is the case, there is a small but real chance the supplies you are using for the machine were damaged by improper handling while in route to your location. I hope that's not the case, as the times I've seen that were unpleasant.

Re: Print Quality

Thanks Iowa Tech I think the problem of the loss of brightness in print leaving the impression in matte is the product that put a toner non OEM and so I read the toner that is not the manufacturer without any chemical ingredients like silicone gives gloss finished printing.
Perhaps you know that yellow dust Developer supports my Ricoh spc820 as some tell me that the Developer YELLOW B2309680.
PS: In Cuba the climate is tropical and humid well.
