Hey all,
Today i 've noticed that the prints on my 1600 come out a bit grey, on the white parts of the paper.
What i mean is: imagine a print that has some text and a smal picture. They pretty much cover about 20-25% of the paper surface. The remaining unprinted areas should have stayed white, but instead there seems to be a gray shadow like someone spray painted faintly from a distance. It gives a cool effect actually, but i dont want it!
My first thoughts are that the fuser unit is near the end of its life. It has been almost 8 years of fair use after all. But something tells me that i shouldn't be hasty to go a buy a fuser kit for such an old printer without checking with you guys first. Maybe it's something simpler.
Any thoughts?
