I replaced my original cartridges with EZ-INK TN229XL toner cartridges. I have cleaned the drums and the corona wires. I keep getting magenta and or/blue stripes on the far right side of the paper and the colors are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy off. Any ideas? These cartridges are highly rated so I don't believe it is because they are not Brother Brand. (I searched the forums, but didn't find anything pertaining to this)

Hi, it sounds like the issue might be with the cartridges or alignment. Try removing the magenta and blue cartridges to check for leaks or damage and ensure they're seated properly. Run a color calibration from the printer settings to realign the colors and double check the drum unit for any residue or scratches. Also, updating your printer's firmware can help with third party cartridge compatibility. If the problem persists, swapping in another cartridge (even an old one) might help identify if the issue is with the toner itself. Hope this helps!
