Xerox C8000DT printing two distinct lines.

[Astro13]

Hi, any ideas on the part or the issue with my prints? I've cleaned the drums, cleaned all the print lens, reset the waste cartridge and also cleaned the IBT.

Still persists, any help would be appreciated, this has just started and I'm mid project!

edit - just performed a test on CMYK separately and its the K channel specifically

Edit - I have the C8000w and replaced a new drum from there into the K in the DT, doesn't seem to be the drum as the issue still persists.... Im stumped!

is this the 8000 model from ancient times that uses fuser oil?

ok
does it have a developer housing or is it a cartridge that contains drum and the housing all in one?

I believe its separate but having not looked im not sure where this is located, i can check.

ok found it, its separate, do you know if i can swap a cyan developer for a black? I have a spare cyan but no black, even if just to test to make sure its that?

you cant do that
there is developer material in there for specific color
you probably have chunks of toner blocking the developer in the void areas
look at the housing and see if you see the voids on the roller

It's 1/4 of the cost of my printer here. £400+ for the developer assembly, the printer was only £1200 new
