Suddenly, my printer is producing vertical white lines on Kodak Premium
Picture Paper.

- still using original ink tanks
- have run every cleaning, adjustment, etc.
- had produced many fine photos using this same paper
- does not produce these lines on regular paper

Any ideas. Thanks.

KODAK PAPER HAS A REPUTATION FRO NOT WORKING WELL IN A CANON PRINTER.

But why would it work very well for four months? Same batch.

If the Kodak Premium Picture Paper produced "many fine photos" previous
to your current problem, you're either looking at a partial clog (like
any brand ink, Canon inks clog if you don't use them often enough), or
you have a printhead burnout. I had a burnout after less than two months
of use. Printhead life is unpredictable - some fail soon after, some can
last years. Luck of the draw.

What do your nozzle checks reveal, you haven't mentioned them?

And how does a test print done on another brand of photo paper (not
kodak) look? You mentioned regular paper works ok. But photo resolution
and standard print regular paper printouts are at different resolutions
and these lines may not show at standard print. I observed this
phenomenon on an earlier Canon printer of mine that croaked.

You had iP3000 clearly shown on the subject line. In addition to the good
advice given by Taliesyn, you might also want to recheck the printhead
alignment and the possibility of dirt or ink on the encoder strip. Be
careful if you try to clean the encoder strip. Use a soft dry cotton swap if
possible. If moisture is required, use a slightly damp swab - water only, no
solvents.

Ok, nozzle test perfect.

I had been printing using standard setting, and that just worked with a
non-Kodak matte paper. When I switched to the high setting using Kodak
paper all ok. Prints look beautiful. So standard on Kodak produces
lines, high does not. I had not been doing prints for awhile so maybe
that's part of the problem.

Thanks, all, for help.

Okay, so it was basically a setting problem. Photos should always be
printed at high (or Quality) resolution, otherwise you'll usually get
what's called "banding" - visible print bands and lines that don't quite
match.

I'm sure you're right. I was shooting at standard because the results
were so good (and fast) and a couple of reviews of the printer
indicated that the results would be fine. What interests me is why,
after four months, this started to happen. Maybe printhead fully
'broken in'. Thanks.

IT PROBABLY DID NOT WORK AS WELL AS YOU THOUGT. IF YOU ARE USING OEM
INK THEN MAYBE YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PRINTHEAD. FIRST TRY
ANOTYHER BRAND OF PAPER AND RESET YOUR DRIVER AND SETTING.

THE ADVICE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN IS TO DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE
WARRANTY LEFT AND IF SO LET CANON HANDLE THE PROBLEM.
