          i'm not profi in minolta service but i think my good answer for that question is not so far or hard to F3 and Delete

              Have a look with a magnifying glass on the prints of all the c220/280/360/452/552/652 (old series) and the new c224e/284/364/454/554/654/754 series they have all yellow dots. For example, you can't print a clear magenta... you have always yellow dots inside! ...with pcl/ps, and with color management and without color management. And not only KM machines... it should be a code to identify the machine if you print some illegal stuff.... very old story.

              But you can print internal full solid test pattern in a clear color without yellow dots
              So... it's normal.
              Of course you can see this problem on SRA3 format on the "not printable area" but this is to cut away (my advise to my customer)

              edit:

                Ok, i have read about that, and i understand.
                But, new printers why not printing the same? or it print dots but not so many like the old printer?
                i will verify this later...
                and finely it will be nice to find a way to reset the number of dots, what do you think about this?

                and this is the sample, on the 30-70% on Red the mystery dots can be seen and on the Blue 20-60%
