Common Printed Image Issues and Solutions

Here at Toner Spot, we not only provide premium quality remanufactured cartridges, but also provide knowledgeable services when customers encounter technical issues. Few of the common questions we occasionally get usually regards to printed image defects such as fadeouts, unwanted lines, and specks. Users must be aware that not all the issues are caused by cartridges, especially when the units are made with high standard procedures such as our ISO-9001 products. We’ve pulled out some common defects and their possible causes along with solutions for your reference.
