|paper they are using, sometimes the paper is to smooth and the ink does not get fully absorbed into the paper. Next I would ask if |
|they have been running any double sided print jobs through, sometimes the front side of the paper is still to wet and when the |
|paper is run back through it makes the rollers dirty. Next I would clean the rollers with isopropyl alcohol and see if the problem|
|returns. If the problem did not return I would suspect a leaky cartridge, if it does return I would then suspect that the fuser is |
