equidistant vertical lines black photos

After using my photosmart premium all-in-one printer c309a with good results, I get suddenly thin, regularly spaced, vertical black lines on a good photo. I use the correct setting for the size and best or autotmatic photo paper quality. I use HP HP ink cartridges and premium glossy photo paper. Ink cartridges are at the right level. I removed and reinsterted the cartridges, cleaned the print heads and calibrated the cartridges. Nothing seems to help. Does anyone have another solution that I could try?

To try to solve my problem, I first printed a different photo according to the following procedure. It prints perfectly. Then, I have chosen the same photo from my files as before, used a different picture (Kodak Premium) paper, clicked on print using my HP photosmart Premium c309a and let the printer automatically select the entire document. The photo printed beautifully without the thin black vertical lines. I can only imagine that my own previous selections may have caused the initial problem.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Thin vertical lines when printing photos

    The printer referenced did a fabulous job to print photographs.  In this case, the printer is fairly recent and has recently recently consumed the original cartridges when it was decided to try to use it for photo printing.  Therefore, the fabulous results were extracted relatively new cartridges and consisted of at least a dozen photo printing in various sizes.  Then all of a sudden these thin vertical straight lines began to appear in print.  They are equidistant on the full image.  That they appear in the printed image.  When using paper letter (8.5 x 11) to print an image cropped at 8 x 10 with landscape orientation spacing is about 1 1/8 (one and one-eighth) inches or 8 evenly spaced vertical lines.  Somewhat like the photo was divided into 8 columns.

    According to the printer built in ink gauge, that the cartridges are now just a little more than half full.

    These lines are narrow enough so that they are not very visible when printing on normal paper (copy).  They would probably be imperceptible on many kinds of printed documents.  However, they become quite noticeable and reprehensible when using good quality (in this case HP) photo paper to print photos.

    Absence of a printer resolution is not good for photo printing.

    In addition to the troubleshooting suggests that the problem is not due to the printer, but rather to the software used to perform the printing. It was not immediately obvious that I printed only photos using Picasa and it worked fine and then all of a sudden the problem developed. However, I have now tried to print the same photos with other software and there is no problem for the steps.

    The Picasa forum also has many messages wanting to be the same or a similar problem to what I have experienced. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an explanation for a repeatable cause, nor a specific solution. Some hacking autour with the settings and options seems to be in order. If it does not then print with other software may be necessary.

  • My screen seems to have gone out.  Everything worked well then there black and white vertical lines on the screen.  Had to make a hard stop, bury ashes hold the power button. Now no display

  • Tecra M3: black screen on startup, the vertical lines on the external monitor

    Hi all

    I searched a lot on the Internet for a solution to this specific problem, I have, but did not find a thread
    with exactly the same problem. I have a Toshiba Tecra M3 with Windows XP SP 3. Two weeks ago, I encountered problems with the commissioning. After a couple of times to restart it would work. Then it became worse... When I try to run I see no splash... the screen remains black. If I press the power button, I hear the fan and CD player but no screen. It is totally black. I know its working because I can go (blindly) in the installation program. Press end, and then press Y and enter. The computer will restart but still no screen.

    I plugged it to an external monitor. Pressing Fn and F5 allows switching. The external monitor shows different
    vertical lines in multiple colors. They change if I go to settings or you try to start windows.

    Does anyone have a solution to these problems?

    I have fear of solution can be given by the service only.
    In my view, this question must be tested properly.

    I can't say for sure, but to me that sounds like a technical question. Without testing you will know for sure what is the problem.
    Here on the forum we can only speculate why this happen.

    As you can see on notebooka? s LCD problem. On external it doesnâ? t properly work as well. It may be a faulty graphics card.
    Try to contact the nearest authorized Toshiba service and speak with the technician.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 more black vertical line when copy or scan

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 more black vertical line when copy or scan everything in the middle of the page

    Hi Clementstl,

    I understand that you have a 8600 Pro Officejet which puts a black vertical line in the center of your copies/scans. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with this, but I will certainly do my best to help you solve this problem.

    I recommend the rest of this document of vertical stripes, lines or streaks in the Copies, faxes or Scans as it should be in a position to help to cross that line. The most common cause is a small spot of something on the glass of the scanner, so just make sure that when you're cleaning use you as much elbow grease you can collect

    Just to clarify a little further, if the problem only seems to occur when you use the automatic document feeder, you'll want to focus your attention on the small strip of glass that he uses on the left side. If it only occurs when you use the flat glass, you want to concentrate on the large piece of glass he uses.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Photo printing, vertical lines when you print multiple images on a page

    I went from iPhoto to Photos. Now I'm having a problem printing (HP Photosmart Premium 309 c) pages with many photos for my annual calendar. Often the picture on the right will have vertical lines. I use PS 14 items.  I did this for years and I am sure that the problem is related to Photos and the fact that my photos are now in the cloud and not on my Mac.

    I recently removed my hard drive iPhoto library - because I don't have enough space on my Air.

    1. Select the photos you want to export.

    2. Choose file > export > export Original unmodified.

    3. Click Export.

    4. Choose where to save the exported photo files and then click Export the originals.

  • DeskJet 3835: Black vertical lines when scanning - Deskjet 3835

    Hello

    Whenever I scan using the document feeder, there are black vertical lines showing on the picture. This happens with the dish however. The printer is the 3835 Deskjet all in one set. Receive your answer. Thank you.

    The lines that you describe would generally caused by a small file specifications (or some spec) on the thin glass to the left of the bed main scanner.  Open the scanner cover and clean the thin glass.  It can help to shine a bright light which is held at a slight angle to the bed of the front.  This would be to highlight the areas to be cleaned.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 black printing/copying has vertical lines on the page. The color is fine.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600.  at 2 weeks.

    Windows XP

    Color copies/prints are very good.  Black prints/copies have vertical lines widths, ranging from top to bottom.  This occurs when it is copied to form glass or through the feeder.

    Suggestions?

    If the unit is producing lines in copies, so I suggest checking a few things. Make sure that the printer is plugged into a wall outlet directly and not in a surge protector. Additionally, make sure that the glass of the scanner (including the small strip on the left) are clean.

    Also, see the steps in the document troubleshooting located here.

  • OfficeJet pro 8600 black vertical lines of print when copying

    I got a new of OfficeJet Pro 8600 a couple of weeks, and it worked fine until today, when I tried to copy something. I can always print from my pc and scan without problem, but when I try to copy a document (if I load it into the tray or put it on the scanner) the page comes out covered with black vertical lines of different sizes. It seems that this isn't the ink or the scanner since I can print from my pc and analysis very well.

    Help, please!

    This unit is plugged into a wall outlet directly? If this isn't the case, then try to connect the unit to a wall outlet directly.

    The 8600 Officejet Pro has built in the surge protector and double this feature may cause some problems.

    Also, try to reset the printer hard:
    * Unplug the unit while the printer is on
    Disconnect the other end of the power cable from the wall socket direct
    * Wait 30 seconds
    * Plug the unit to the top

    Let me know if it helps.
