Greetings,
After some digging around, I found some older threads where people reported that they used the DU-104 drum units on their C6500s and found them to be superior to the DU-102c. Specifically, the vertical streaking that are caused by the cleaning blade used on the DU-102c units that appear while printing, especially when the DU-102c units begin to reach their EOL, don't happen (at least) as often when using the DU-104 drum units on the offending colours.
Right now, every time I switch on the machine and start printing, I am guaranteed to be greeted with yellow streaking and it's really annoying.
With the yellow and black drums due to be replaced soon on our C6500, I was thinking of replacing them with DU-104s instead of DU-102cs. My only concern is that, although the vast majority that used the 104s on their machine said they worked perfectly and have never looked back ever since, there were 1 or 2 posts reporting that the machine threw a C-XXXX code at them or reported some kind of a problem.
Will having 104s on the yellow and black and 102s on the magenta and cyan work (magenta and cyan aren't due to be replaced yet)? Or will mixing 104s with 102s cause me a problem? Do I have to do something before switching to 104s like e.g. updating the firmware if it's not done already (had seen this mentioned somewhere).
Many thanks.
