What would cause new toner to print full pages of colour?

New set of generic toners due to laser printer being long out of warranty and originals being very expensive... What would cause this?

First pic is new yellow and magenta toners installed. Second pic is new yellow/old magenta, and old yellow/new magenta. Original cyan and black are still installed.

Interesting that all the toners show the same pattern. Perhaps the drum is broken.?

Damaged drum maybe? Make and model?

Sorry everyone. Noob error. These generics have little plastic tags unlike the originals, which hadn't been removed. All is well now and saved a few thousand Rand.
