[image] Horizontal color streaks on i-SENSYS MF-8340Cdn printer output

Ever since I acquired it, less than a hundred pages ago, this printer's paper output has featured horizontal bands - the denser the color, the denser the streaks.

Take a look :

The printer's diagnostics tell me that the ink cartridges are full. I see no contamination of any sort inside the printer.

Can anyone tell me what is going on ?

The solution : I replaced them and the problem simply disappeared. The cause : the 'starter' toner cartridge that came with the printer were defective. I probably should have started with that...
