Our tests use a printer manufacturer's recommended consumables (ink and toner) and papers, and they mimic the ways that the average person uses their printers when printing text, photos, and graphics. To help you determine which printer is the right one for you, CNET Labs performs a variety of tests that evaluate print quality and speed. If you're going to print documents, you want to know that they are going to look good and print quickly. Be they letters to Grandma or photos from your most recent vacation, things have more impact when you can hold them in your hands.

If the defect is present only on the Green print replace the Yellow Drum CRU A4.For better or worse, we are not a paperless society. If the defect is present on both the Green print and the Cyan print, replace the Cyan Drum CRU A2. Most Drum defects will repeat every 44 mm (1.75 inches) or 94 mm (3.83 inches) on a print. If the defect is present on only one of the prints, replace the appropriate Drum Cartridge. If the defect is present in the same area on all four prints, it is not a Drum Cartridge defect.
