Hi,
I recently purchased a Canon IP5000 and although its a great machine I am having a few problems with print quality.
Printing on Canon paper with Canon ink I am getting vertical sections as you look at the final printed image (therefore horizontal at printing stage) of what I would describe as about 1/2 cm thick faded printing (with some white lines) at regular intervals of about 1 1/2 inches. Its as if when the print head is going across it gets lazy at certain points

.
These are not as noticable on colourful busy images but they are noticable on any image with solid colours.
Any help would be great

Thanks,
Marie
