toner dust - very random speckles of all colours ( under a magnifying glass!)

the bands are almost repetitive mostly with a 1 cm gap between them, where the paper is quite clear.
Some of the bands are approx 2.5 cm thickness and some bands are 1 cm thickness.

the bands of toner dust are across the A4 page horizontally, faint and of very fine speckles -

I've thoroughly cleaned the paper path- removing all toners, transfer belt and Fuser, vacuuming out etc. -

The printer is just out of warranty and has only printed 11,500 pages

I had this happen to my HP Color 5500 series printers to 2 different printers a week apart and in different buildings. The cause in my printers were the toner cartridges. I replaced the ones leaving a color tint and all was good.
Hope this helps
