Having similar problem with my cm205fw....black color printout is very fade, rest of colors are ok. Problem seem to be the compatible black toner cartridge, as other colors cartridge are genuine...
Finally solved my problem following solution here....

By changing a new cartridge and printing blocks of rectangle in black only for almost 10 pages, I can see the black color slowly coming back![]()
hi there guys. been reading up on monochrome laser printers for home and went thru this whole thread.
After comments here i decided to get the fuji xero p255dw.
Problem is where do i get this model? the ones available commonly now like courts/harvey is only the p225 and p265.
Both these are square and large footprint. im looking at specifically the p255dw.
Any advise?

UPZ. any update/advise on this query? im looking to purchase asap..
Hi,
Any recommendations for the following?
1. Color
2. Print, Print Scan Copy (3in1)
3. Less than 30 pages per month - mostly b/w
4. Preferably wireless with dual sided ADF
Saw the xerox 225 dw @ sim Lim $200 c&c looks like a pretty good deal.
Have a Xerox CP215W bought 2 yrs ago. Exactly the same symptom. Black prints are very fade (they were OK initially), other colours are fine. Using compatible cartridges. I tried the above method, printed more than 20 copies, no joy.
Got posters recommend this company Pearl Blue...
