So we're blowing them out at the shop & carrying clean spares to swap in the field. Possibly ozone is building in the charger areas for lack of good circulation and all it takes is an older drum, poor quality toner, old dv, and as has been mentioned, low color usage makes the toner and/or dv break down smaller since no new dv or toner is being introduced. This agrees with why cyan mostly... because its next to the k that is used o long runs and the most ozone accumulation. If KM didn't agree, then why did they rework the whole air circulation in the 8 series? I know there's direct charge rollers now, but the air circulation is better now, not less, even in a reduced ozone/charge internal environment.
Bottom line blow out the ozone filter in back and you'd better do it outside!!!
