Any printer experts?

I have a canon iX6800
It’s been fine up until today
I’ve done all the cleaning of the nozzles, I’ve changed the black cartridge, what should I do? Any ideas 😰

The black at the bottom has lines running through it 🧐

How old is the printer ? If you print a photo is the "banding" obvious ?

Run the nozzle cleaning again

This, I also have a Canon, different model though. Recommendation is try 2 nozzle cleaning and if still no joy perform a deep clean

I found an article on the net last night that explained you may get some banding on a test print because it's not created at best quality. It may be worth (as suggested) running the head cleaner again and then printing a test photo

Have you taken the printer head out and cleaned it?
The nozzles can get clogged up especially if it’s not used frequently.
I use my canon for edible icing sheets and have to clean the head every few months.
If you google there are plenty of videos to show you how to remove and clean it.
