Ink Smudge in corners with Pro 200

[Studio52]

I have a Pro 200 that's started leaving ink streaks in the corners as the end of a 19x13 print is finishing.  It's as if the paper and the print head are banging into each other because lately I've heard a clicking noise as the last couple inches print. We've tried all sorts of remedies from cleaning the head to new ink tanks to different levels of paper in the bin etc. But, it's getting worse.  Has anyone seen anything like this and, better yet, have a solution?  Thanks in advance!

Are you using Canon paper? Is the paper perhaps curled?

I am having the same problem.  Just bought my printer in July 2022.  Please let me know if you find a solution.  It is most frustrating.

I just bought mine and initially it was printing perfectly and then I started to hear the noise at the end of the printing phase and also these little extra black ink "trails" in the last corners of the paper...

I saw this printing on 8.5" x 11", when I tried on 4"x6" I didn't see the issue...I tried cleaning the roll in Maintenance options and that helped...my guess is somehow has to deal with a little misalignment when the paper enters the printer, even minimum...

Greetings,

Take a look at the Advanced Paper Settings in the print driver.  Avoid Paper Abrasion.  Print Head Height

Canon : Inkjet Manuals : PRO-200 series : Advanced Paper Settings

Thank you very much... that "Avoid Paper Abrasion" made the "magic" :).

Rick do you know if printing borderless and keeping that setting will somehow affect the quality?
