Good day Peeps.
Please excuse my English.
I Have C454e. Lately the printer prints like this.
( Note all drums haven been replaced a while back and def refill kits. NON OEM. Please do not judge me, in SA prices is insane and if you can get OEM parts your are very lucky. Even Minolta retailers here use non OEM.)
I have a small printing business, in my small town.
Barely surviving covid, as for our country is in state of disaster for the past 2 years. Business is really slow, and I try to keep the shop to help locals out with prints, as for I am the only person rendering the service here.
Okay my printer prints fine one day, and it prints like this ( See image 1 attached ), it randomly differs from colors.
After taking these steps it will work for a day or 2.
Step 1.Manual add toner to hopper and fill toners. - Sometimes problem goes away sometimes not.
Step 2. Do Stabilizing and gradation - Sometimes problem goes away sometimes not.
Greens would become blue, red would become yellow etc. It differs every time.
I am in need of any advice or help, as for financially I cannot replace the printer, nor rent a new one. ( they are bogus with prices here, hence I saved up and bought a refurb 4 years back.)
I am losing money for more then a month now, with all color prints, and my head is standing still now. I did have 2 techs out, one says it is the main board ( but why sometimes it prints fine for a day or 2 then starts again.)
Other tech said firmware, and I cannot get hold of any FW as for my local Guys Charges me R2500 ZAR for it.
Any help would really be appreciated. I can also Provide my WhatsApp number to do a video call, and show how the printer is printing..
Picture one is with the miss print.53195 This is more or less how the image should look. 53196
