In the last two weeks or so I have started noticing black dots across my prints, they’re inconsistent and appear in diffferrentt areas of the print, i’ve seen the other forums that suggest toner issues but I doubt it is that due to the inconsistency in the location/quantity of the black dots. In some of the prints i’ve noticed the black lifting from the black in the image but spreading next to the image. I’ve used a variety of different paper and the issue is occurring across the board. I’m at a lost and desperate as this is affecting my business! Any help?

You can do it onto all the other three ones at the same time.

And will find out there are lots of waste toner and how much money you have been wasted!!

What a shame!!!

Leaking toner cartridge try to empty the recycle bin first by insert a name card into the gap between and waste bin and shake the name card from left to right the backward for few times to dumpthe waste toner out.

Then print again if it doesn't work then replace the black cartridge.

Would you happen to know where the recycle bin is? I’m not familiar at all with the components. I’ve also just printed another image and the ink has duplicated more faintly further across the page, this has happened now with both the colour and the black ink.

After doing a bit more research, i’ve found out that what is happening is referred to as ‘Ghosting’, how can this be fixed?

Before you go on remember preparing a garbage can which uses to dump all the waste toner into.

If there is ‘Ghosting’ then you have no other option but replace it.
