    What is the weight of your paper? check this is set correctly in tray paper settings.

        Looks like the fusing temperature is not correct for the thickness of the paper.

          Hi slimslob, if the paper is 105GsM what will be the fusing temperature? Should I increase or decrease temperature as for the regular?. Thanks for your reply.

            why not print out a test print via printer service mode..
            and meter info too.
            are you doing skyshots?

              Which drum did you replace and why.
              Double check your fuser rebuild, pressure cams, temp and paper settings.yuk

                Hello, if you are using heavy 100 gram paper up, you should set the paper drawer with "thick 2" paper. I hope you have installed the original fuser unit.

                  If that's the case, then there's bad toner in the machine. You might try setting the machine for a heavier paper weight, I had some luck with that on older machines (it's likely to blow up in your face later though, at least it did for me).
                  I suppose the paper may have too much moisture content too, but that's kind of unlikely.

                    agreed. there is an internal test print from the printer SP mode that gives you a look at all of the colors. That would really help with troubleshootinmg thios issue

                      Has got to be the worst kind of print test.

                      Four full density, full coverage layers.

                      No wonder the fuser cannot successfully bond the toner to the paper properly.
                      Especially if that paper had a smooth finish like colour copy.

                      It's a bit unrealistic and asking for trouble really.
