Why do I get horizontal banding or streaks across large solid color areas on my wide format prints?
Posted by the SuperPrinters team · 7/26/2026
Evenly or unevenly spaced light or dark stripes run across the print, most visible in large solid fills, gradients, and mid-tones. The image looks striped or ribbed instead of smooth. Most often caused by clogged, deflected, or missing nozzles laying down uneven ink so bands get too little or no ink, among other possible causes — a full step-by-step diagnostic and fix follows below.
