Phaser 6280 -- very faded and blotchy black output

Try looking here. It's a post from a forum user here.

Thanks for the idea, but as mentioned I've tried several genuine Xerox black toner cartridges, and the problem persists.  Clearly not a cartridge problem.

Hi Tutor5,

Thank you for using the Support Forum. Please take a look at this solution for faded prints of one color. If this does not help please consider contacting your support centre for further assistance.

If I print a solid page of magenta: perfect.  Solid page of yellow: perfect.  Solid page of blue:  perfect.

But a solid page of black:  extremely faded, and blotches all over the margins.

I once tried a non-Xerox cartridge, but since then I've tried several genuine Xerox black cartridges (all the color cartridges are genuine as well).  Still no improvement.

Thanks.
