Hello. I've noticed a faint line on top of color prints with my Pixma TS5151. It goes accross the width from left to right. And it occurs in the exact same height on all prints. I almost didn't notice em because they're not white streaks or blotches. Rather slightly darker tone to the color of the picture.

Things I tried (and ttested after each)

-Re-fill the carts and print a nozzle-check and it was fine.
-Check the printheads for dirt or excess ink
-Make sure the printer sits levele
-Make sure the back feed tray can extends fully to not warp the paper
-Printed half a A4 then flipped it 180 and refeed it and tried again
-Used a new sheet from a new pack
-Did an auto head alignment.
-Used erceptual instead of relative colometric.

Not yet tried.

-Clean the back feed roller (but they are only a few mm wide. How can this be.
-Try new cartridges.
-Standard quality setting instead of high

What you see beneath is the topside of a A4 glossy print. The white arrow points where the line occurs and goes accross the whole width of the A4 paper. And only in that same height on every color
print. The color differs with each picture. And it's a slightly darker tone to the color of the picture.

Cpuld it be something is dirty in the printer that clamps down on the paper at that exact moment?

Picture was taken at sunset so it's extra blurry on my old phone.
