I am using a Mac Ventura 13.6 system.

I have a Color Laser Jet M255dw printer.

Trying to print out a Christmas card I have designed on my Mac.

Printing on A4 160gsm, smooth card.

My ink cartridge levels are all ok.

Problem I am having black  lettering is printed part faded  here and there on the card.

There are patches of ink here and there as if it is a very fine spray and some specks of ink and smudges.

Solid colours are printing with  some areas of tiny white specks where the ink has not taken properly.

Seems to have printed out ok yesterday.

No problems when printing on paper.

Have also ran a cleaning page through twice.

Any ideas please?
