When you printer produces blurry prints or banding and faded prints
Canon Pixma iP5300 is a color inkjet printer. The printer is shipped with Canon Pixma iP5300 ink cartridges. The printer offers WiFi connectivity and has a high print quality. But at times you will observe blurry prints, horizontal or vertical banding or wrong colours getting printed.
These print quality issues arise due to clogged print head nozzles. To clean the printhead nozzles, follow the steps below:
- Take a nozzle check pattern print to check if the ink is ejecting properly from the print head nozzles. If the nozzle check pattern is blurry, has gaps or is faded then there is a problem with the print head nozzle. The nozzle is clogged and ink from Canon Pixma iP5300 ink cartridges is not flowing properly. There is a possibility that the cartridge is low on ink.
- You need to run a print head cleaning cycle. Take a nozzle test pattern print again to check if the pattern is correct. If not then repeat the nozzle cleaning cycle. You will need to run this cleaning cycle four to five times until the nozzle test pattern print will come out correct.
- If the problem remains then leave the printer turned on overnight. This will loosen up the clogged ink in the nozzles and clear the path. The following morning, take a nozzle test pattern print to check if the problem is solved.
- Try replacing the present Canon Pixma iP5300 ink cartridges with new ones. The cartridge might have some defect. Instal the new ones and take a test print.
- You should also check the quality of paper that is being used for printing. First of all, check if the printable side is being printed upon. If not then turn the paper. The quality of paper is also important. Make sure that the paper quality in the paper tray matches the specification in the printer software.
