I used a 'degreasing head cleaner pen' to clean the roller.<br />
Hasn't helpded so far, so might end up buying replacement cartridges as you suggest.<br />
Thanks for the reply.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a Xerox Phaser 6100 colour laser.<br />
There are 4 large toner cartridges slotted into the side - C M Y K.<br />
<br />
The Black is new and 90% full, the other colours are a few years old<br />
and the printer reports them as being around 50% full.<br />
<br />
The problem is that the colours do not print a full page, they are patchy and<br />
faded, tending to print ok on one half of the page but virtually nothing on the other.<br />
Black is absolutely fine and prints a solid page.<br />
<br />
I have taken out the colour cartridges and given them a good shake to loosen up<br />
any stuck toner but still the same problem.<br />
<br />
On closer inspection, the roller part of the cartridge that transfers the toner<br />
to the printer seems to be the problem.<br />
The black one is coated nicely in black toner, but the coloured ones appear to have smears<br />
or fingerprint marks on them meaning the toner is not evenly spread across the roller.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know the safest way to clean the rollers and if it will help.<br />
<br />
Thanks !!<br />

Cartridge Roller prob - needs cleaning ?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
