    MP 5500 dark copy

    The printing is perfect. When you copy say, 1st page of SMC report the characters are a good bit darker than the origional making the image appear bigger. There is no background or grey areas. The machine has just been fully serviced after lying idle for a couple of months. New drum,blade,brush,dev,filters,hr,pr and dev bushings. All settings in sp are what they should be, any ideas please.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

      Adjust your laser settings to min and max to see if you get any change.If you dont then i would suspect a bad laser.I had one that went bad after being in the field for only a couple of months.It gave me about the same cq issue you have.

          Printing is perfect, so must be image processing somewhere.....

          You implied it. But, sp5990-6 all looks good/reasonable?

          Could the generation or pale copy setting be in effect?

          Perhaps a dim scan lamp?

          Can you see the same effect when scanned to a tiff or pdf?
