    Ricoh SP C820DN color varies greatly side to side.

    Its could just be your wires if you run a lot of prints. The wires apply charge to the rollers that hold the dry toner. If part of the wire becomes burned/worn you will lose coverage in those areas.

    My canon is two months old and i have had two wires replacements. We run about 2-3k sheets of 13x19 a day.

    if you have to increase your transfer voltage on jobs (like i do with vinyl) you will go through wires quite fast.

    When you say side to side, are you saying Operator Side to Non Operator Side across the sheet?

    Good question actually. Could mean the difference between a wire change / voltage issue or a something a bit more serious..
