Problems with Canon i9900......help please!

Hello!

I've recently been experiencing print issues with my i9900, more specifically, I was getting some banding streaks across the image with various colors.

Originally, I thought I had a clogged printhead so cleaned it several times with no improvement.

I find out later that my [older] ink carts (I refill them) could be partially clogged causing a flow problem, did a quick drip test and that seemed to be the problem so I bought new carts.

Once new carts were installed I printed an image and it seemed to work fine.

At closer inspection, I did see some banding again so I found instructions to enter into 'service mode' so that I could run an 'extended nozzle check pattern'. I did the test (supposedly this test shows if any specific printhead holes are clogged) and I haven't had a normal print since.

Here's an image of what Im getting, any input would be great!
