Printer Probs

Hi

I have an EPSON Expression 6100 printer. At the moment when I print a picture I get coloured lines across the print. I have tried the following : Nozzle clean (3 times), head clean and head alignment. I have also changed a couple of cartridges as advised by the printer. The lines still appear. Can anybody throw any light on this please ?? Many thanks

It's a duplex printer - if you do a lot of duplex printing could it be a dirty roller?

Never done any duplex printing. Just had a thought - would it worth trying a new maintenance box ?? Only £9 on Amazon, might be worth a go !! Thanks Barry

Hope it does the trick.

I get banding on my HP it I have not selected the right size paper in the settings  but print on A4.

For instance if the printer app is set at 6x4 but when in Photoshop I choose A4 and scale to size.

I have to go back into printer settings and select the correct size paper

I now have a new maintenance box so am going to try that asap. hopefully over the weekend.

Just an update on my problem printer. Fitted the new maintenance box today, replaced the existing cartridges that I hadn't changed and guess what - yes you've guessed correctly !! Problem still persists. I had a look on You tube and have deduced that it could be a blocked printhead. Have ordered a "cleaning kit" as per You tube and will have a go when I get it.

All for now

New printer on the way. Tried everything but no luck.

I gave up with this brand.  I now have a Canon printer which is wonderful!
