PIXMA MX922 banding in blue colors

rmart911 — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 14:20:09 GMT

Have an older unit that works fine but the blue colors are banding lately.

This is despite several print head cleanings and alignments.

Any suggestion on how to get this working right again?

Please take a look at the topmost blue band to see what I'm talking about.
The scan didn't come across perfectly, note the 2 lines in the topmost blue section are consistent in color but the total line is divided top/bottom with a two-tone effect.

So, changing out the ink cartridge didn't help and I'm not sure I want to be buying more ink for this printer.
I'm looking for replacement options. Some of the things I'm looking for include:

Duplex printing AND scanning. I want to be able to scan two-sided documents directly from the feeder in one pass without having to flip pages over and reload them.

Photo quality printing.

Those are the two main things.

If I can get them in a laser that's even better.

Whadayagot?
