I've had very bad luck with this toner. One did leave a black streak to the right of each page. And continued to do so until the cartridge fell apart.

It's probably the drum that needs to be cleaned. Every printer is different so you may want to ask a repair shop or Yahoo/Google it on how to do it? Edit: You also have to clean the "corona wire" on the cartridge, just slide the tab across the wire several times, every time you replace the cartridge or when streaks happen from what i've read also.

f streaking or print quality problems occur, first check that the printheads are positioned correctly in the carrier: 1 Press Menu&gt; until you see the Utilities Menu. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until you see Change Printhead. 4 Press Select. 5 Open the printer cover. The carrier moves to the load position at the center of the printer. 6 Raise the carrier handle up and back down to reseat the printheads. 7 Close the cover. If this does not solve the problem, a printhead may be plugged with dried ink. Doing a Short Clean should fix most print quality problems: 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the displayPress Select. Short Clean appears on the second line of the display. 5 Press Select. Once the Short Clean finishes, a test page prints four color bars. If you do not see an improvement, do a Long Clean. Keep in mind, however, that a Long Clean uses a substantial amount of ink and takes some time to run. 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the display. 4 Press Select. 5 Press Menu&gt; until Long Clean appears on the second line of the display. 6 Press Select.

I have an HP v40 and the Color cartridge worked well. However, the printer would not except the black 15 cadtridge. I informed the vendor through amazon and they sent me another black cartridge at no charge. Again the new one did not work either. I contacted the vendor once again and they gave me a refund on my credit card for the bad cartridge. Ordered another refurbished cartridge from a different vendor and it worked. Plus the refund covered the cost of it. So I would say it would be worth the risk of ordering it since the supplier will refund your money even if it doesn't work out for you...

It was no longer printing black (except photo black worked). After cleaning it as best I could, and doing all the tests that I could find online, the only conclusion left was that the black ink part of the printhead had burned out, so I got a new one. It now works normally again with the new one.

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!

Mine did that and I did everything... Finally, I found it was the paper I got on special at Staples.... It was sticking up someway.... I switched to another brand... worked fine...

I haven't had that problem. On one occasion had a cartridge where the "black" wasn't as dark as I would have wanted. I had another occasion where a cartridge arrived broken and used. The seller sent out new ones expedited shipping. Have had no problems with that purchase.

JME, so far mine has worked fine with sharp clear photos, no black spots. I have only run about 200 photos thru it though. I'll probably be putting a lot on it next month. I'll will respond back if it starts appearing on mine.

I had a problem with black streaks when using power application. I was able to minimize the streaks by using the edge of the pad when the center became built up, and changing pads more often ($$!). No problem encountered with manual application (except sore arms and shoulders!)

You can try taking the print head out and cleaning it, but I have not had good luck with it fixing it. Sometimes it helps and then the next time I use it, it won't print black again. Basically, these are useless printers. The print head is about $50 to buy a new one and they don't last very long. I'm limping along with this and then I will buy a different brand. Sorry. Maybe cleaning it will get you a little more use.

First i would change that black ink cartouche..also consider uninstall and reinstall the HP software in your computer..and definitely not a bad idea..do calibration and the cleaning head feature..

brother won't do anything to help.I had just brought my toner from amazon ,it streaked on the right side of the page. I called brother and they told to mail it back to them and they would send postage(which that did not)they sent back the same one back,I again called them back , they said it was empty and would not replace it .I showed that I just got it and if it was empty that is the way they packed. it they wouldn't do anything about it. so a total loss.

The streak is caused by a pile up of black ink underneath the foam pad just below the large black tank. Try to remove the foam. You will notice one hole that has black ink around it. Clean that as well as you can with a q tip (You have to remove some of the cotton). I took my whole machine completely apart first and killed it DEAD. If this doesn't work, buy a new machine. I bought a Canon MX850 because it uses the same cartridges and has a newer interface. It doesn't cost much more than the ink packaged in the box. (a full set of 5 cartridges)

"Whoa!" The Auto darkening mechanism should be in working order prior to purchase. Mine seems to be working just fine. Itʻll be a good idea / note: to customer service. Thanks for the heads-up just the same.
