Faint Black Print Lines from my Canon imagePROGRAF TM-300

I can't figure out how to get rid of the black lines that you'll see in my photo. Does anyone have advice? Thanks.

I would run through all of the maintenance settings. Head nozzle check, head cleaning (deep, uses the most ink), I'm using a Pro-2000, 2100, and 6100, so my settings may be a little bit different.

It also maybe the paper size configuration. That may not be the right word for it. There is a tool which allows you to print a sheet and measure with a ruler to see if the printer is physically printing at the correct scale. It looks like the size of the print head is where you're getting a hairline of overlap and perhaps the machine is thinking it is moving the paper exactly the length of your print head, but it needs that value reset.

Hello! I am having the same exact issue. It is either overlapping banding lines or I'll get thin white gap lines.

Have you resolved this issue?

Hi!

Is there any solución for this? I hace the same exact problem, also if You select a other kind of papel, like photos paper, the lines doesnt appear, but the color is faded, so it's impossible to get neutral gray on black and white prints

Well, the thing is to select the right paper in the printer. For the most simple papers i select normal paper and instant dry for glossy ones, but when you use a thick paper you have to select photo paper, but, the color profile for those paper are horrible (epson do a great job in this case), for this you have to print with no ICC, or select a generic ICC like sRGB:

for this you have to go to options, color settings, and then set up like the capture. You can achieve this in Windows also. Now the prints has no bands and the color is correct (but maybe a little darker than the screen, thing you can manage giving some bright before print if needed).

Cheers

Hi juanjullian,

The lines that appear at regular intervals are called banding. It usually happens when the media type you have selected doesn't actually match the media you have loaded in the printer. If you are using Canon media and are selecting the correct setting for the media type, then you may need to perform a banding adjustment to resolve the issue.
