    Hopefully, someone can help me with this. I have 2 Xerox Color 550 and both are exhibiting the same problems with voids like thick lines on the leading edge of the paper.
    -It only happens on 12x18 or 13x19 (not on letter) light stock (bond or couché) and I have already tried changing the paper from different suppliers including Xerox.
    -I have changed, drums, toner, fuser and IBT Belt and IBT Belt Cleaner
    I have cleaned everything I can reach and can't get to the bottom of it. Can anyone help? Thanks, Paul

    Hi
    Its the 2nd BTR ( the black roller before the fuser)
    If you push on it with your finger and it feels soft then replace it, because it is soft it create a gap more or less and there is no transfer too the paper.
    the roller should feel firm.
    Hope this helps

    Thanks for your reply, dino3m, I eventually got to that solution after much trial and error

    Many machines have a color registration sensor between the black station and the remaining 3 stations. It uses black as the benchmark for all other colors. Sometimes it can get rather filthy and the machine is unable to register color. I would look there first, 9 out 10 times it’s a dirty sensor
