My MX700 Printer Printing pink bars/bands on Photos

[Sally1943]

My PIXMA 700 printer just started  printing 3mm pink bands/bars across my color photos.  I've replaced the ink cartridges and checked for bits of plastic over vent holes, etc.  I've cleaned the nozzles and print heads all to no avail.  Please help.  I've had the printer for 10 years now and its always worked perfectly.

Hello.

If you are printing on photo paper, make sure that the media type is being specified correctly before printing.  If the wrong media type is selected this may cause banding on photo or graphic prints.
