Pixma iX6520 horizontal stripes

[dlitterell]

Hello. 

I've been having trouble with my printer having verticle lines. This happens especially when I print something really dark. 

I've printed the nozzle test and it looks great. No striping.

I thought it was due to old ink cartridges, so I bought new ones, and it's still happening. 

I also tried deep cleaning, but it didn't do anything. 

Any suggestions?

Hello.

Banding can be related to the paper that is being used or the media type selection that is chosen in the printer driver.

If you are using plain paper, you may have to try using a different type of plain paper to see if you get better results.

If a photo paper is being used, try selecting the appropriate media type setting in the printer driver before printing.
