Product: HP PageWide 452dw
Operating System: macOS 10.15 Catalina

I am experiencing an issue with my PageWide where the ink density varies from one page to the next.

 

I have done all cleaning and calibration cycles many times. I have also had the printer replaced under warranty and the new one is experiencing the same issue. This is with original HP ink.

 

This problem occurs with the HP driver as well as AirPrint driver. I have also tried PrintFab where the issue too occurs. It seems as though the ink cannot maintain a constant flow. What is strange is that with the HP driver the first 5 pages had consistent density and the last 5 pages were weakened. Whereas with the other drivers 3 pages are weak and 2 are strong alternating.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have tried printing from different software and file types. It really seems to be a printer issue. Just want to know if this is an inherent defect of the PageWide line.
