Canon Pro 9500 Mark II Black streaking/blending when next to other colors

[nasabuzi]

It’s less likely that the cartridge is to blame, because these things are made so they can’t go wrong, unless of course it gets damaged, did you remember to shake all your refill bottles before commencing refilling, because failure to do so can cause similar issues..

Hey, so this issue seemed to mostly go away until last night when I went to changed empty ink and now its back. I shook the bottles a bunch before filling, cleaned the timing strip again etc. Attached find a couple pictures of the most recent nozzle check I printed where it seems colors are bleeding/smearing all over.

Any other ideas I can do to possibly correct this issue?

Thanks again for the help previously everyone.

Try running a new print head alignment, but this time do a manual one and use a loupe to get a finer result, you can even use photo glossy paper for better clarity..

So I did a manual alignment, I dont have a loupe or magnifying glass handy but I think I did alright picking which lines I thought were best. Tried a print and save result. I also did an auto align and did a nozzle check to see that how would come out.
