If you include the name of the printer in the Subject line, you'll get a lot of responses.

I think he is talking about the white/magenta banding in the sky.  Looking at the image as posted it would be on the bottom right of each print.

How old are the print heads, they could be at fault. I had a similar issue - not as bad though. First I did a head clean and seemed to fix it, then the problem came back. A new print head cured the problem.

First of all try another type of media that uses Mk ink.

If it is not there could be your canvas calibration needs to be updated .

If it is there and you are printing at unidirectional at max resolution and you have done a head alignment, paper feed adjustment, and gone through the head cleaning procedure it is most likely a head going out. ( print out a head check pattern to check the nozzles).

 Usually when a head is at the end of it's life one of two things happen. Either you will see ink dripping on the print or you will begin to notice subtle  banding that gets progressively worse.

I think it's your LM-LC (HP 70 Light magenta-Light cyan) Print Head.

Do a clean, then a paper advance calibration and try again.

If it  persists, you can go through trying to clean that print head, but I'd just order a new one if it looks bad on a diagnostic print.

You can try these things first
