I am unable to get the printer to print at a density of more than approximately 30%. All four colors are affected. The printer is under 1k pages out. Color carts are original. I have replaced the black. Manually adjusting the print density in the settings to max makes a barely noticeable difference. Resetting to factory also had no appreciable affect. I have tried changing paper type and printing from different PCs, there was no difference. The printer did work as expected when I purchased it. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Attached image was printed at max density along with a page from a different printer for comparison.

If you're using OEM Canon toner (all), I suggest you reach out to Canon support.
