MFC644 Print Density Problem

[fmitman]

I'm having trouble with black printing too light from my MFC644.  I have Cannon cartridges installed and I have used the printer preferences to adjust printer density to the darkest (for black), but nothing changes.  My apologies if I hav posted this to the wrong board.

Regards,

Greetings ,

Are you printing black text? Or is it gray?

Does it happen from any application you print from?  What paper type or media are you printing on.

I haven't had to adjust density and have my 644 and 656 set to defaults.  

If you still can't get the results you're looking for. I would contact support and see if they can assist.

Rick,

Appreciate the response.  It is happening from all applications, from two different computers (both running Windows 10), using normal (pretty cheap) paper that I have used for years.  The text is black in the applications (like notepad, ms word, & etc.).

Interestingly (I guess - and I just tried this), I have the same result when copying B& W from the printer glass.  When I put the density up to max when I do the copying, the print is slightly darker.  And I thought it was my printer drivers causing the problem.  Maybe not.
