Blurred/ faded horizontal line (only on certain colours) on Canon iX6850

The nozzle check looks perfect to me, so my prime suspect is the paper. I suggest to try another brand of photo paper.

Hey! Just wondering if you ever worked out the issue / or a fix for this? I'm currently experiencing the exact same problem and have been through all the usual steps for narrowing down the issue. Mine is doing the faded line at the very bottom of the page.

Hi
Yeah i actually managed to fix it by going to the printer utility, on the drop down menu (cleaning is first on the drop down), custom settings and i selected align heads manually and also changed the ink dry waiting time to long - this completely fixed it for me
I hope this works for you, let me know

Thank you! I'll give it a try

Tried changing the settings and selected align heads manually, unfortunately it's still happening! I'm starting to think it's something wrong with the printer in general though. I've tried everything that I've read up on and it only seems to be an issue with A3. Printed hundreds of A4 pictures perfectly which is confusing!

If anyone else has some suggestions I'm open to trying other things before sending it off for repair!

Post a Nozzle check, with some history, because if it can print A4 then it's not the printer..?

Here's the latest one I've just done. I'm very new to printing etc so most of what I'm doing is trial and error!
Also, as I'm trying to eliminate any other issues that could be causing this - could this error on my PC be something to do with it? Unsure if it's linked in the slightest

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to post to try and work out the issue!

Your nozzle check looks perfect, so it can’t be anything to do with the inks, and the only thing I can think of is to slow the printer down by using Quiet mode, and longer drying time and maybe select a different media to print on..
