Konica Minolta C451 partially faded out Black prints Color OK.

Not sure exactly what causes the issue. See the Pic. I printed full black page.

Before I try just wanted to make sure: could it be Laser Unit or Imaging Unit? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I replaced the imaging unit, no luck. Will it be really the laser unit? if that is the case why I did not see the pattern on other colors? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks Thendral

Seen this some time ago in some of these but after changing the drum unit it went away.
I remember these machine had an issue with the black drum unit spilling developer from their back
side,did you check that?

OK I was able to fix. Just to let everyone know - It is laser unit. There seems to be some toner / dirt in the pathway causing this weird pattern.
Once I clean it and put it back it prints good.

Thanks a lot to lilleputte, DigiMan & shamnad abdullah. Keep up the good work. Its a great help.
