But do have a question for clarification. Need to understand your meaning of "band". The printer prints in both directions. There are many nozzles for each color. Each pass prints about 12mm wide strip/band. Are you saying you are seeing the white stripes closely spaced like a nozzle was blocked or you are seeing the wide 12mm bands with alternating bands of yellow and white, like the printer was not printing when the carriage moves in one direction but prints in the other direction? Answers would be different depending upon meaning of "band" -- Mickey

Thank you. I did a deep cleaning and nozzle check again(I already did). All the colours are perfect, yellow too but the yellow line is half compared to the others! I really can't understand what is the problem with yellow! If somedbody has an idea please help! I don't want to by a new printer, I used this one not so much. |
