Thick paper

[Michko]

Hello

Is there anything you can do to get this a bit better?
Seems like Sharp mfp and thick paper with full color is a no no.
This is printed on a new BP60c45, but it's the same on MX-3060

Tried to set higher values in 44-4 and calibrate 46-74.
Is there anyway to boost transfer somehow on thick paper?

Thx

edit
Tried to print this on a mxc303, it was "perfect".

What is the weight of the paper, and is it set correctly on the machine? Also, what does it look like on plain paper? I'm not surprised that the BP isn't looking as dense..... Unfortunately that's kinda normal for the series.

But also, SOLID BLACK? gross.

Ok Dumb question, have you tried using the bypass and setting it to the proper GSM?

Sharp toner or something else (Katun etc.) ?

Why ?

Print it in full color instead of just black?

Our rep pretty much told us that the density might not be as much as older machines. In order to get the machine down to the price point, plus the lower temp toner they're using for now, it all adds up. By DEFAULT they are passable, but there are some times where we have to adjust driver settings to make everything darker/bolder/crisper, and then customers are happy. Overall the series is good, just the usual Sharp fuser problems we've come to know and love.

its 220gm in bypass and tryed cmyk black, same results.
All original toner.
Sharp a3 mfp's don't seems to able to handle this type of prints.

But as i wrote, smaller mfps can handle this much better.

Check the position of the fuser entrance guide, if it is too close the toner can be deposited onto it before it is fused.

Also, try changing the fuser temps with SIM43-01. Sometimes reducing the temp by -5 can help.

I'd be curious what it looks like through a BP-C A4 machine, instead of an MX series.

I agree that this looks like a second transfer issue. You did not mention how far along the 2nd transfer unit is in it's maintenance count. What are the machine counts. What are the media guidelines for this model?

It's a brand new BP
But as I wrote older MX A3 mfp can't handle this thicker paper also.
