Pro-1 banding issue on glossy/semi-glossy paper

[Frederik]

Hi. So I'm having an issue with banding on my print. The degree of visible banding are dependent on the picture and on the size of paper used.

I noted that the problem only occours when using a profile for glossy or semi-glossy paper however the banding are consistenly wrong (exact same banding when printing the same picture on the same size paper).

This leads me to believe that its a software issue!

I have tried upgrading/downgrading both firmware and drivers, both with no prevail.

I have also tried using both comparable Canon ICC-profiles and original profiles from the paper manufacturer.

Furthermore I have done a cleaning cycle on all the nozzles and aligned the printing head. Testpages looks fine.

I have attached some pictures of the prints with banding, both overall and close-ups.

Can anybody explain to me what the problem is? - I have been trying to fix it for a couple of weeks now and I don't know what to do anymore.

Kind regards

Frederik

None of thoose suggestions fit the description I made.

I wish to post this nozzle test and a comparison of one of my photos using a printer profile for photo paper (left) and one for common paper (right). As you can see the banding does not occur when using a standard profile for common paper.
