    I am getting a crosstrack oriented darkened magenta streak. need some help tracking it down.

    I am printing on 17" paper. it repeats EVERY sheet, But moves away from lead edge incrementally .5" on each sheet. not sure where to look for this one

    having phone connectivity issues...or I would...

    it appears Ive lied anyways.

    the streak shows up only inside areas with good coverage.

    AND more importantly...it repeats within the sheet...right around 6.5"

    SAME spot is back.

    twin IB to OB magenta lines that are about 1.5" apart, and they repeat on the sheet at 6.5" could this be fuser? Oh they only show up where theres coverage.

    not sure its related, but this is on 10pt coated 1 side material.



    trying to upload pic...

    yeah its really faint. i let the job go that had it on there...

    ugh spitting.
    last two times for me, cleaned donor roll with lint free cloth, changed purge setting, along with cleaning everything else, it went away...


    good luck. it appears this is a "live with it" deal for igen. every machine has one or TEN. lol
