Dark streaks There are dark streaks in the printing that show especially in the yellow. I've done all the cleaning protocols and replaced the maintenance kit. Help!?
Dark streaks are an indication of "burned" or overheated ink. This will occur when the printer sets for a long period of time and nothing is printed. The problem will usually disappear after 50 pages or so, unless the printhead is damaged.
If the print remains dark, the printhead will need replaced. (Very expensive)
(Dark print can also be caused by using Non-Xerox ink)
