Ricoh mp c4503 print jobs are coming out in washed out colors

[gregm27]

When print jobs are sent to the copier, the colors look washed out and faded. Printing a test page in printer sp mode, the colors are much better looking

Go to maintenance, auto colour calibration, perform those refering to printing.
Is the mimage on the printout also blured?
If no, proceed the calibration procedure.
Better?

Thank you. We did install the latest pcl 6 driver from Ricoh web site. No PS card installed in machine, btw. Does this mean the problem more than likely is with the computer and not the copier?

Could be , will install a new machine an account that had an HP, customer had tuned all files to match the bad HP printer so when we install new printer customer said color was off.

Take the file and print to another color machine on or off site and compare. Or use a known color file and print it.

Depending on the driver used, toner saving might be turned ON.

What sort of life are the PM parts in? PTR is a good cause of this kind of image quality problem.
