Toner Levels Dropping Fast

[ccheebusiness]

Hello there,

I've been printing small greeting cards that have the equivalent of 1% coverage on my C8000. I've had a mere 100 impressions, and somehow my cyan and magenta toners are down to 88% and 87%. The others are also down a few percent, but for 100 impressions of extremely low coverage prints, I am very confused.

I documented how many pages were estimated to be left in each toner, and then test printed 10 sample cards. CMY each dropped 80 pages worth of toner, and K didn't move at all, even though each card is 95% standard black (0,0,0,100) with 5% being a solid red symbol. 

Am I missing something or is there something that could cause the toner reading to be completely off? Or am I somehow burning 80 pages worth of toner without noticing?

John, not as of yet. I'm trying to figure out how who to reach out to regarding this problem.

Service technicians are extremely pricey and I dont' see why I would need one when my print quality is fine, and there isn't any obvious signs that the printer is using up so much toner.

Do you also have a C8000? Or a comparable model?
