I'm curious to know what operating system you are printing from? I've had no end of Canon print head failures recently after years of printing 10K+ sheets from iX6850's

Thought I'd update incase anyone else is having the same issues. I upgraded to Sonoma, and my issues are solved. I'm 99% sure it was a driver/mac OS problem. No way to prove it but I'm not having the banding any more and print quality is much improved. (can't print PDFs from Acrobat in the...

I want to agree because it would be an answer but why would this happen with the Canon inks too? Because the latest printer started doing this before i replaced any inks.

Thanks, I'll have to keep an eye on the outlet saturation and just keep trying to work out what the problem is. I'll try other cartridges but this same issue happened with 2 compatible brands and Canon OEM so I'm at a loss as to why that is. I'm not selling prints as such, it's planner...

Thanks for the reply, this is the nozzle check for the most recent one. They all go a similar way. Worst affected seems to be Magenta and Black in all cases. I don't use Ps but I've printed from Acrobat and Mac Preview with the same results. I've attached a few examples too. These are printed...

Hi all, I’m at my wits end! I recently bought 2 new iX6850’s to replace some older ones I have. I run a small business and print a lot of reasonably high quality A4 paper and I’ve always loved these printers. However, the 2 new ones I have are really awful quality. I print self adhesive Photo...
