Is the Brother HL-L2460DW bad, or is it just my brand new unit bad? (Thick black goop all over prints)

I got a Brother HL-L2460DW. The first 2 tests looked ok. After this I tried to print a zine on it. Almost every page had this thick black goop on it... (It also used half the toner printing 24 double sided pages). I tried looking at the drums but didn't see any debris. I also changed my paper setting to "thick" as some people online said that would fix it. I printed 10+ more copies, and let it sit a few days in case the issue was it being new... Super annoying. My old HP never had any of these issues (albiet the resolution and print quality is way better on the brother). Every page I print gives thick splatters.
