    Are the first few sheets Ok and then starts to drop off and is the strip of red running along the long edge of the sheet ie left to right on the iGen transports? If so you can tweek the toner concentration. I forget which NVM's they are - it's been 2 1/2 years since I touched an iGen :)

    That looks exactly, like a problem I got a few months ago, only it was in the black station. Tech changed the whole Developerhousing, as it turned out, it probably was the magrolls behind the donor rolls that malfunction(do you spell it like that :) ?, the black donor rolls was dirty 5-7 cm inboard.
    Try look at your donorrolls, for the magenta and yellow station, are they "dirty", then you might have the same problem.... maybe
