PIXMA G5020 Print Color changes from top to bottom of page.

joshuaholland — Sat, 12 Nov 2022 13:37:58 GMT

Hello,

I was printing fine on a G5020, then the color started changing from the top of the page to the bottom. For example in one a brown skin tone at top starts to change about halfway down the page to purple.

The ink levels are apparently fine. Printing from Photoshop and trying a few different color settings, though doesn't seem that should affect the same color across the page. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Attached is the nozzle check print. I tried doing a nozzle cleaning but it did not help.
