I'm having a printing problem I'm hoping someone can advise me on. I have a Canon G3200 Megatank Printer, and I'm printing from Photoshop on Windows 10 over USB connection. Black prints fine in Document Grayscale mode, using the black printhead. And when I print in Photo mode, printing a full page (8.5" x 11") of either cyan, magenta or yellow all print perfectly. But when I print of full page size photo of anything dark in Photo mode, where the printhead has to mix darks, it starts out printing fine until about halfway across the page, then it starts printing red streaks. When this starts to happen, I can hear the printing rhythm starting to change speed, as if it gets tired. I haven't tried flushing the printhead with alcohol solution because, as I mentioned, the colors each print flawlessly on their own. I don't know the mechanics of printing, or how much more difficult it is for a printer to use more than one color at a time, but that seems to be where the problem starts. Here's a photo of one the print outs (the image if from a wallpaper website). I'm using dye ink in the color tanks, which is what Canon color ink is, however it's not Canon ink, it's Printer Jack Compatible. I'm mentioning that in case non-OEM ink could cause this sort of problem. Thanks for your help in advance!
