How are you even getting good prints. I just returned my HP color laserjet 4301 because the HP software is absolute garbage and straight up wouldnt let me set up instant ink (said I had to be admin of printer, which I was, cause I owned it) and now this canon one gives me all white streaks down my card stock. I finally got it to print mostly fine but now it cuts off the right side of the prints. Why does printing still have to suck in 2023. Ive even gone ahead and went photo mode just to try to make it lay down more black to stop the white lines from showing. It doesnt have a setting for card stock. it sees it as "recycled"
I need to make board game cards with linen or cotton card stock and so far it just doesnt seem possible. either the printer is great and teh software isnt, or the printer just isnt. Im leaning towards the latter on this one.
EDIT: I think I got it. I just kept trying settings and eventually it just printed fine. The only thing I can think of is the printer needed a few runs to really get the colors laying down. The white streaks are gone and when I used the manual front loader the alignment corrected itself. That was more stressful than it should have been for how much these printers cost
