Hello,

yesterday I exchanged my cartridges with OEM new ones (HP300). After printing and scanning the alignmentpage, I wanted to print out some pdfs, but unfortunately there was some shadowing appearing on the printout. (photo attached). So I was on a large troublesearch until I found out that there must be an alignmentfailture with the cartridges (Photo). I had no other chance than manually rework the edges of the color cartridge so it's sitting in an other position on the rack. After that, the aligmentpage looked completely different and the printer was able to align the cartridges correctly.

 

My question: Is there any production issue known? Are the messurements of the cartridges correct? The ones I got are made in Malaysia. Usage date octobre 2021. 

 

It would be nice if you could give me any feedback, in the internet I saw many people with alignmentproblems after changing the cartridges. And I don't want to manually trim the edges in future.

 

Thank you in advance
