Uneven Density (Metallic Paper or Textured Paper)
Vertical Band of Uneven Density in Two-Color Solid-Fill Images.

Cause:
On metallic and textured papers, the image transfer area is narrower. If density fluctuation due to development occurs, it affects the image transfer, causing uneven density.
Solution:
If the paper is not registered as custom paper, register the brand of the paper.
In [Detailed settings] for the custom paper you are using, select 1201: [Max Image Density], and then increase the value for the specified color by "5".
1201-01: Maximum Image Density: Black
1201-02: Maximum Image Density: Cyan
1201-03: Maximum Image Density: Magenta
1201-04: Maximum Image Density: Yellow
1201-05: Maximum Image Density: Clear/Special
1201-06: Maximum Image Density: White
1201-07: Maximum Image Density: Metallic

Increasing the value increases the density. If it becomes too thick by the abovementioned adjustment, increase the value by one step at a time.
Toner consumption increases as the density is increased.
