3551ci, color difference

[Samanator]

I think the color tables go like this:

CA = Cannon
FJ = Fuji
HE = HP
KO = Konica
KY = Kyocera
RH = Ricoh
ST = Sharp
TO = Toshiba

The two and three series seem to already have the color tables installed outta the box. There are a couple of new settings (K1 and A1), but I have no idea what those are as of yet.

I mostly set my machines to RH for reasons I have explained in another post. Basically, the default KO will get you the best yield out of the toner. But to me, the color is lacking. RH uses a bit more black toner but looks way better. I take the trade-off of using a bit more black because the black toner cartridges are bigger anyway. The TO may look good but that setting just slops gobs of toner on the page. I only use that one when I have to...... just sayin'.

K1 on the new series is a second Kyocera table. Likely an attempt to improve blues/cyan. I’ve not used it myself

I have 2 3551ci's in the shop. Both using OEM toner. One has 100k on it. The other has 50k. When I print out the test charts there's a difference in color. See test charts below. Notice the difference in the last row of color. One is magenta and the other looks purple. There's also a more slight difference in the blue.

Maybe someone with more experience than me can give me a clue. Thanks. See below:
