Toner woes

[Slammer]

Arrrgh! Just being driven crazy, I received a printsample from a customer, textured linen paper and a uniform grey background as a print, at least that is what it should be, in reality the damn thing is mottled with an uneven layer, or density, we are using a fiery rip and a Ricoh. Anybody got a tip or two? I really don´t want to have to dynamite the thing.

What model Ricoh?
There's an older thread about the 7100 having issues with textured media: https://printplanet.com/forum/digit...863-ricoh-pro-c7100-textured-printing-problem

That seems to hit the problem on the head, gonna look deeper into that thread tomorrow. Thanks a bunch.

You are asking the machine to do a very difficult task - textured stock and a uniform background - like the perfect storm for a toner machine. We're on our 3rd Ricoh and have had a Konica Minolta in between a couple of them - all of them have had problems with both textured stock and uniform backgrounds. Apparently the latest generation Ricohs are better at this (so I hear) but can't speak for other manufacturers.
