Epson sure colour p900 dark banding

[The-Brat]

I am having issues with darker banding an inch from the bottom of every prints. The printer seems to pause at this section everytime.

I’ve taken a video here -

The paper is innova 210gsm
Thick paper setting on
Settings - fine art paper / standard quality
Printing using USB but also happens over wifi
Printing from adobe photoshop on iMac

Any ideas why the banding is happening and printer pauses an inch from the end??

It’s driving me mad!

Thanks
