Businesses and homes
alike can't do without their laser
printers, relying on the devices' rapid printing speed, vibrant
color output, and affordable printer toner cartridges. However, if
you’ve ever owned one, you're most likely familiar with the
challenges in maintaining such devices, especially when it comes to
print quality. Users should be able to identify potential problems to
better respond to such emergencies.
If the printer produces
a poor image quality, it can be due to dirty corona wires. Since
laser printer toner cartridges contain powder instead of liquid ink,
the corona wires emit a static charge that allows paper to hold on to
the powder so it can be melted by the heat roller. The wires are
usually located near the paper rollers and should be gently cleaned
with a dry swab.
Meanwhile, your
cartridge having more toner on one side than the other can result in
pages with uneven print density. This means that one side is dark and
the other is light. An easy trick to solve this is to remove the
toner cartridge and give it a gentle side-to-side shake to
redistribute the powder inside.
Additionally, toners
could vary in their page yield due to certain factors. For example,
complex projects that use lots of color will deplete the cartridge
faster than simple black-and-white documents. For first draft
documents, you can always lower your print quality settings to extend
your cartridges’ yield.
