Hi All,
I have a Brother MFC9130CW laser all-in-one that has poor print quality. The blacks look dull, but the other colors are very intense. Could someone help me understand what’s going on? I’ve already cleaned the belt unit, and the cartridges aren’t empty. Here’s a picture of a test print: https://imgur.com/a/aUUHel4 View: https://imgur.com/a/aUUHel4

Your manual details the consumables and maintenance schedules. Adhering to these intervals is crucial; otherwise, your printer may quickly turn into a costly anchor.

If you haven't already obtained the manual, you can access it here:

The guide for replacing the drum unit is located in the "Setup Guide" section of the provided link.

If you've already adhered to the instructions in the manual regarding print density adjustment and haven't enhanced the quality, it's necessary to swap out the drum unit.

By "print density adjustment" if you mean calibration, yes I've done it several times, but it doesn't affect the final prints. If not, please let me know.

And nothing has altered from what I had before. If calibration failed, then swap the drum. It's worn out.

Yes, that matches what Brother refers to as a "Belt Unit."
