Toner fading away on iRAdv C5235i ?

[27th]

Hello,

I'm going at a customer tomorrow. They're relatively far away and it take the day to get there..
Earlier today, they sent me the pdf : 20200213070754-2.pdf

They said it happen mostly in the morning, when they power-up the printer and it can last for ~50 printings.
I have never saw this before, anyone got an idea on what i should look for ?

They have an iRADV C5235i and drums LF are <100%

Thanks

looks like condensation on the drums, do they leave the machine on at nite? is it cold first thing in the morning when they turn the machine on, over the course of the day, does the CQ improve and gets better to its perfect? check your timer settings, turn on the drum heaters, little switch, keep the machine on overnite, make sure the automatic switch off is set to 0

The CQ does get better after some times & some printing !
Can't reach them right now so I don't know if they turn off the printer over the night, but i guess asking to let it powered-on over the night should reduce this effect ?

Also, never heard that there is a drum heater option. I will take a look at this !

Thank you for your advices MunsterTech !

For the first time in my 4 year of working in this field, I stumbled upon something that was weird to me and guessed I would have seek support here.

I am being trustful, and you're not helping here.

It's purely the fact you felt you NEEDED to put down false info. Do you not see that point?
Did you fudge info to get that job?
Your house/car?
How do we know from now on you're telling us that facts on your next thread?
Sorry if you can't see the trust needed in situations like this.

It feel a little weird that you're so concerned about my profil.
Anyway, don't worry about me Phil, I don't need you to trust me or anything like that. I have a problem, and I am here to seek help. That's it

Do you have some information that you could probably add up to MunsterTech's one ?

Further, check the state of the paper to see if they appear moist. I bet you they can be a culprit. Have a blank plain A3 on platen glass and run a couple to feel the heat in the fixing unit. Afterwards, use some of them in your normal copy. If it was moisture, the results of the heated papers will be better than those that are not heated.

Let's see where these suggestions gets you.
