 Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:14 pm Post subject: Light copy in the center of the print all the way down |
  |
|
I have a KIP 3000 with 85,xxx sq ft and have a light image in the center. I have read a lot of the posts regarding the light copy situation. I have replaced the charge corona wire, cleaned the grid screen, and un-bundled the wires going to the imaging unit. I didn't think that with only 85k square ft on the developer it should need servicing. Would like more suggestions on what I am missing. Is this a chronic problem on the 3000?
Thanks For Your help,
Alan |

I would clean the developer roller and printhead. Printing a large amount of half size prints can cause this.

I cleaned the printhead, just wipe it off with a damp towel. Customer doesn't hardly, if ever run half size prints. I sell them the paper too and they only buy 36" rolls.

| We have had dev units only last 85k.. Usually in low volume environments... did it take them 18 months to run 85k? There is a post on here somewhere detailing cleaning the supply roller.. we have gotten a lot more life out of dev units doing that instead of ordering the roller kits. |

The bonding agents used to manufacture paper can come off and stick to the photoreceptor.
Pull the drum and examin the middle part. Can you see or feel a light coating? Just use 77% or 99% alcohol and a lint free shop towel to clean off the drum and it will run like new. Take your time and no scratchy drummy.
side note: it's kind of odd, But I had two 7000's that I've done this to very early on and have never had to do it again. I ended up getting excellent milage out of my drums. |
