“Photo are marred by parallel lines across the page We just bought an ENVY 7640. Our first few printed pages (<10) included 3 prints of color photos that were taken with a Nikon D3300. To my dismay, each photo printed out with a series of parallel lines -- very light, but still noticeable at arm's length -- running across the 8.5 inch dimension of the printing paper at about 1/2 inch intervals from the top of the printed image to the bottom. Our previous printer developed the same problem; I bought the 7640 after a Best Buy salesman told me that the problem was probably the result of dirty printer heads and that it would be better to replace that printer than try to fix the problem. What is causing this problem and, more to the point, what do we do to eliminate it?”

Change the printing quality in printer settings to high quality. That happened to me and when I changed different settings and the lines disappeared.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I got about half a photo out of mine before it did the same thing. Put a new cartridge in and it has printed decent photos since. The carts that come with printers are not full capacity and won't last long.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check your camera. I had one that developed the lines across on the viewer of the camera and they printed the same way. The camera for what ever reason had gone bad.
