Pixma G3260 - Print quality only lasts a couple of pages after full cleaning

[pbploger]

I went through multiple nozzle checks, cleanings and deep cleanings to get to a 'good' nozzle check printout.  When I tried to print a multi-page document, several pages would print great, but then I started having gaps in the print quality and further degradation for the balance of the document.  I have sufficient ink and just replaced the maintenance cartridge.  Printing every day or don't print multi-page documents are answers, but if the quality doesn't last beyond a page or two, then there is a problem.  Is there a suggestion of what to try next?   Thank you,  #Pixma G3260
