Pixma G3410 printing white lines and through text

[msdaviscs]

Hi all. My printer is printing faded text or sometimes no text on the top of the first 2 pages after start up. Thereafter it prints fine. If it is left for a while and I print again it does the same thing. 

I have run multiple cleaning cycles and ink flushes. I have replaced the black printhead. Ink tanks are full. It recently also started curling the corner with a blotch of black ink. 

Anyone experienced this? How did you fix it?

Troubleshooting White Lines and Faded Text on Pixma G3410

Check Print Quality Settings

• Ensure that the paper type and size settings match the loaded paper.
• Select an appropriate print quality setting. If you notice blurs or uneven colors, increase the print quality.

Inspect Ink Levels

• Check the ink levels in the tanks. If any color is low or empty, refill or replace the ink tank.

Clean the Print Head

1. Print a nozzle check pattern to see if the ink is ejecting properly.
2. If the pattern shows issues, clean the print head:
   • Clean the print head once, then print the nozzle check again.
   • If problems persist, perform a deep cleaning of the print head.
   • Repeat the deep cleaning if necessary.
