Well so far so good. I did the color calibration three times back to back (although I was skeptical this would work) and so far the issue hasn't reoccurred! Thanks again!

Gosh dang it. No sooner did I post this reply than a user calls me and says the issue just occurred again. I guess I jinxed it by talking about it. Looks like I may need to investigate ordering the part mentioned in the post.

Just had to deal with this issue on an HP Laserjet M451dn printer and I think we resolved it so I wanted to post my findings for others:

Tom reported that color bands we printing on his print jobs. Found the information below which seemed to indicate a cartridge was worn out and causing the issue. In Tom's printer the black cartridge was the only high capacity cartridge and it was due for replacement anyway so we replaced it and the issue appears to be resolved.

Re: Color bands on HP LJ color M451dn

HI aLL.This is a common issue as said and can be due to several factors.the one most common factor is that the OPC has a worn coating and losing charge this creates electrical drop and charge issues and resolves in the colourbanding or what some see as the "German flag defect".Take a close look at each cartridge and check to see if the organic coating on the OPC is worn down to the aluiminum substrate. this can happen as the waste toner is building up in the cartridge wastebin and being held there creating wear and rubbing to the OPC coating.by changing one cartridge with worn drum this stops the issue and prints ok.the other issue is to address what the end user is printing and % per page of coverage and yields.runand print a supplies status page to see how many prints each unit has printed.One unit may be printing exessive pages past the OEM rated yield do to % of coverage.as said by changing one unit the issue goes.Elliot.

I followed Elliot's advice & printed a supplies usage report. I noticed that the black toner was at 90%. Everything else was 30/40%. I asked the user if this prob started after changing the black supply item. Her answer was, "Yes!" Problem solved. Thanks everyone!

That's great news to hear issue is resolved. Thanks for letting us know.Be careful to watch this end user though as it may be that there using this printer for mainly printing black.the issue may come back again in the future if there printing habbits are as I think.as said it may be that there getting a higher page yield than stated by OEM due to low coverage per page but this alsocreates more wear to cartridge components.Its always good to view the cartridges OPC if this issue is seen again and simply to change that cartridge that has the OPC wear.This is seen with HP OEM or aftermarket units.CheersElliot
