Calibration will not fix your problem

Re: Xerox dc242 calibration

in your opinion, what is the problem? and anyway, what is that first screen I posted for?

Re: Xerox dc242 calibration

you have a developer issue more than likely

Print test pattern 11 from diagnostic for each color at 70% (cmyk).

I think you have a problem with the yellow regulator or drum unit, I would check that first before calibrating, so that the machine has good quality, all its components have to be fine

You are definitely right! All yellow prints appear "dark", not vivid. The developers have never been changed, except the black it was changed last year. Do you advise me to replace only the yellow Developer or also M and C?

I will try to do it. And about my first post, can you explain to me what that screen is for?

all the consumables have a useful life, that you can see the counter of each consumable to see if america changed, to see how the other colors are, send a cmyk file at 50% on a 33x48 paper and there you will see everything that fails

I confirm the problem of the yellow developer. practically it is almost dust-free! once powder is added, what steps should i follow?

Hello my friends. i have a problem with xerox dc242.
both prints and photocopies come out badly. it seems that the color does not stick on the sheet.
they come out with white spots. I have no idea if it's a material problem or you need to do a thorough color adjustment.
I changed the developer 4 months ago and also the ibt. the drums are original and with a residual life of 80%.
almost new fuser.
eventually, is there anyone who can explain to me step-by-step how to make an excellent color adjustment?
I have seen videos but they are different from each other.
the problem comes out especially on red.
for example yellow comes out brown.
light green comes out dark green.
red comes out almost orange. Thanks
