All solutions are arranged from the most effective and frequent to rarely encountered to simplify the procedure for solving the task.Method 1: Cartridge Check
Of course, at first, suspicions fall on the ending paint in the cartridges, so they should be checked first. We advise the owners of laser devices to gently reach the inkwell and shake it, and then check the print again. Such movements will gather the remains of the toner in one place and allow them to use them normally, providing high-quality printing for another while. However, if it did not help, it is necessary to make a refueling. As for the owners of inkjet devices, here it is required to inspect the cartridge on the subject of lines or try it on weight.

Photo Krashaban is one of the most important details of the laser printer. The image is transferred to it, and then toner is gradually applied.

If you use a printer for quite a long time, it is recommended to replace this item in a special service center.

Sometimes there are situations when the printer prints poorly immediately after refueling or in the inkwells there is still a lot of paint, and the image appears pale. Then the reason lies in the cartridges themselves and their pollution.
