When printing graphics with larger areas of the same color (such as http://www.wallpaperjoo.com/3173-cute-wallpapers-7-computer-backgrounds.html), especially if it has a gradient in color, is it normal to get bands going across the page? I've included an attachment of the actual print out.
This is on a HP M251dw. Originally I got a brother 2740 which did the same thing but each band was much narrower and closer together, but definitely still evident. I've tried different paper and settings (plain, heavy, cardstock, etc) but all lead to similar results. On lighter shades it's not nearly as evident and on dark / completely black areas you can't see it at all.
I'm starting to think this is just inherent to laser printers. I tried it on a larger lexmark at school (don't know model off hand) and had similar results. Or is this just because I've been testing poor printers?
Thanks for your time guys and gals. Totally frustrated with this. Would hate to return yet another printer.
