Canon i560 problem - colours printing in stripes

Canon i560 problem - colours printing in stripes by Kirra (3/20/07 6:27 PM) reply + / -
Hi,

I have a Canon i560 printer, which is roughly 4 years old. I have never had any problems with it up until about a month ago.
The problem is:

When I have the quality set to 'standard' or 'draught' it doesn't print colour properly. Instead I get a horizontal stripey look!

I can only get a proper colour print if I set the quality to 'high'...which wastes a lot of ink.

I have tried 'deep cleaning' and fixing the 'printer head alignment'
I have also looked in the 'troubleshooting'of my printer, but had no luck!

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks,

Kirra :)

I also can switch the quality to "high", problem fixed - but a huge waste of ink...

Yeah, same problem here. Blue stripes unless set to "high" quality.

I have exactly the same problem. Printing perfectly, then I put in three new cartridges...it printed out two sheets perfectly then started to go stripey the next day. I've done all the cleaning, aligning and what-not to no avail.The yellow is not printing on the test (blue prints twice and in stripes). Can I use the cartridges in another Canon printer (obviously one that takes the 3e, or have I wasted them? (Grr!)
