PIXMA G6020 streaking & banding

[mikabella]

Hello. I purchased this printer on March 26th of this year and from the get go there was banding but I could get past it with using high quality paper setting. Now however I've started to get black color streaks and bleeding regardless of the paper & or paper setting. 

Ive tried an ink flush and reseating the printer heads with no luck. By comparison my moms g3270 prints beautifully even on plain paper setting with standard quality. I have all the proper drivers installed and up to date. Same with the firmware on the printer.

My printer will only print well with no banding on high quality paper setting & high quality selected under that. Otherwise there is banding and now recently this black streaking.

Image examples below. The blue banding is a photo from the 2nd day of owning it.

I tried a clean and then a deep clean before the ink flush and this was the best result I got by the end
