iP8750 printing white lines in the same place every time

[stevenbardgett]

Hi,

I'm trying to print a full colour a3 print out. It's a JPEG printing from Photoshop on my Mac.

It's printing out perfectly up until about an inch from the end where I get white banding in the same place every time (i've included a pic!). I've cleaned the printer heads a bunch of times, realigned them and the ink isn't low either.

Can anyone help with how to fix this?

Thanks!!!

Greetings,

That looks like a roller mark or feeding issue.  See if adjusting the Paper Abrasion setting helps:

Thank you!! While trying to find this setting I realised I hadn't actually ever set up the printer properly it just defaulted to AirPrint and I lost loads of printer settings. Turns out it was just because everything was just printing on the Plain Paper setting because I didn't have any others. Matched the paper type to more like the weight of what i was actually using and it must've raised the printer heads and it's printed perfectly now. Thanks for your help!

Glad you figured it out.

Hi, I’ve been having the exact same problem for a while when printing A3- white lines about an inch from the bottom! It’s driving me insane.
I’m using a smooth 300gsm cardstock which works fine for everything else. Could you tell me what paper type and weight you used in the settings?

Thank you!
