I have tried cleaning my Samsung CPL-325 printer a couple of times, but the problem persists. So I am either not cleaning the problem, or the problem cannot be fixed with cleaning.
When printing, I get a couple of faded line through the print, and a splash like fade through the print. Unfortunately images nor links to images seem to be allowed:
Thanks

Re:
It sounds like the print quality issue you're experiencing with your Samsung CPL-325 printer may be caused by a few different factors. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and resolve the problem:
Check the toner cartridges: The first step is to check the toner cartridges to make sure they are not empty or low on toner. If they are, replace them with new cartridges. Additionally, make sure that the toner cartridges are installed properly.
Check the drum unit: The drum unit is responsible for transferring toner to the paper during the printing process. If it is dirty or damaged, it can cause faded or streaky print quality. Try cleaning the drum unit with a soft, dry cloth or replace it if it appears damaged.
Check the paper: Ensure that you are using the correct type of paper for the printer. Using paper that is too thick, too thin, or too glossy can cause print quality issues. Try using high-quality, recommended paper for your printer.
Check the fuser unit: The fuser unit is responsible for fixing the toner to the paper. If it is dirty or damaged, it can cause print quality issues. Try cleaning the fuser unit with a soft, dry cloth or replace it if it appears damaged.
Check the transfer roller: The transfer roller helps transfer toner from the drum unit to the paper. If it is dirty or damaged, it can cause print quality issues. Try cleaning the transfer roller with a soft, dry cloth or replace it if it appears damaged.
Check the print driver settings: Make sure that the print driver settings are configured correctly for the type of paper and print quality you are using. Adjusting the print quality settings may help improve the print quality.

If you do not get an error in the LCD screen, it usually means that your Print head is clogged: try running a couple cleaning cycles using your printer inbuilt utility to try to 'clean' the Print head. If this does not clear the clog head, try using a new original Brother black cartridge (which contains special solvent to prevent clogging) and repeat the cleaning cycles a couple times again. If the problem persist, you could try buying a print head cleaning cartridge to 'dissolve the dried up ink' as Brother inkjet inbuilt print head are very difficult to access and clean! Hope it helps & good luck!
Go in the printer properties, and do the clean the print head procedure cpl times. Sometimes, print head get stuck after awhile, more often if ppl fill their cartridge themselve with cheap ink... You can sometimes need to do the cleaning procedure up to 5 times before everything is fine...
- Try to reallign the cartridge, run a print test, after that if the issue still persist - uninstall and reinstall software - run test and re-allign again the cardtridge using software. run print test again.
For starters remember this is not meant to be a PHOTO Printer, I am guessing the Spearing is because Glossy paper does not hold the toner like Regular paper or at least until it is fused. I am a technitiian and i also own this printer.
Check that your black ink cartridge has ink inside, eventually try a new cartridge , as ink may have dried up in old cartridge. If you use a new cartridge ensure you removed cellotape from cartrige. If cartridge is ok, then it is printer nozzle/head for black ink. In this case do nozzle check / head cleaning in printer tools a couple of times. If problem persist you may need to check and clean printer's head with cotton and solvent.
