Ricoh 3110 printout looks mottled, does this look normal?

EXACTLY the same issue! Could it be the change in weather?

I am running on the usual set up, no changes made whatsoever and all of a sudden the blacks begin to come out as per the photo above. Going to change up my settings to glossy and see how I get on.

I'm on Truepix aswell

Glad to see I am not alone! Printing with glossy setting does resolve the mottling for me but pressing it onto a mug gives me terrible black levels.

I have had the radiator on today in the room with the printer so hopefully it should be 19-20degrees in there now. I am going to try a print and see how things look.

I've taken the cartridge out and it's on the radiator warming up. Last thing I need right now - I have 1200 coasters to print:/

I tried glossy and it took about 1 minute to print a small black box... no time or patience for that!

Did it fix the mottling issue though?

[technick]

Afraid not, I had to start on another order which is dark green scrabble colours and no issues here whatsoever, will try black again tomorrow. Anyone able to shed any light?

[technick]

Anyone? Sawgrass don't know what the issue is. I got some new Truepix paper today and no improvement.
