I wonder if head strikes to the paper always lead to the visual ink defect or it may scratch the paper without print damage? My Pixma PRO-200S is relatively fresh but it started to make some scratching sound during printing, but only when the head moves to the left (if watch at printer from front). Prints quality is nice and I don't see any lines or visual defects. So I wonder if nozzles really touch the paper or it's something else? Whatever if I use RC paper or fine art paper, the sound is kinda the same, though I thought it would depend on the surface type. Used both, manual and top feed, and of course I pick proper setting for the paper (even tried Heavy Weight Fine Art). As additional notice - the scratching sound appears not every move, sometimes the head can move couple times without this sound but then it happens again.
