The Real Answer 🖨️

👉 Usually, it doesn't mean the toner is defective.

Several factors can affect continuous printing:

  • Printer temperature changes during operation
  • Different page coverage levels
  • Toner redistribution inside the cartridge
  • Printer density settings

Small variations are normal in some situations.

When Should You Pay Attention? ⚠️

If you notice:

  • Every page becomes progressively lighter

  • Print quality continues to decline

Then it's worth checking the toner status and printer settings.
