OMG OMG! This worked for me! Thank You ! I know im late with this I just happen to open this up and decided to try it. I had already purchase another epson 4800 because i though thie 2800 was just broken. Just Wow! I am so happy right now its colors are popping☺

Unbelievable was absolutely correct LOL. I dealt with this for 2 years trying to figure out what what's going on with those white lines showing up in my pictures. You are a genius❤

[@vert6140]

Absolutely fantastic tip Rena, this solution worked a treat. I have been pulling my hair out trying to work out how to get rid of the banding on my color prints using matt paper on my Epson. I have searched the Epson FAQs with absolutely no indication or solution to remove banding such as this.... way to go tks heaps. BTW I am now using the glossy setting on the printer for everything I print, it works without any banding what so ever... tks again.

[@Renarocs]

Glad it helped. It’s all about the settings you chose with these epson printers. Especially matching the printer and computer settings. Happy printing.

[@intrinzicdnb1242]

Thank you so much!! I had this exact issue with the lines & my eco tank printer I adjusted the settings as you recommended & it so fixed the issue with lines & dull colors for my sublimation transfers! You so made my day!

Hope it works. It’s all about your settings and how they match between computer and printer. Sometimes I put both on premium matte paper setting even if I’m using plain paper to saturate the paper and give a more vivid finish.

[@Needledownquilting]

thank you. i just bought a 7100 Epson and am having terrible issues with the lines. This did help a bit but there are some still there. sigh. thank you for the great video!!!

[@Renarocs]

Sometimes the updates can affect the printer. Keep working with your settings. 1 sided vs 2. The type of paper chosen. For some crazy reason when I chose 2sided, I get the lines back when I print on plain paper. So I print on premium matte when I print on 2 sided. Crazy, I know. Look over your advanced settings as well. Check out some of my other printer videos. Hope they can help as well!

[@kcalable]

Thank you for posting this discovery. My Epson NX415 is many years old and worked great until recently. I'm wondering if the latest drivers are causing these problems. So I changed different paper types on my computer like your video showed. I changed to matte paper then glossy. The matte setting gave the richest colors but it would print slow. Then I selected plain paper again and the lines were gone. Problem solved!

[@patriciaching100]

Thank You So Very Much!!! I was plagued with those white lines... I took the casing off to clean the printer heads etc and I wasn't careful. The cable for the scanner came out, where the notice 100016 comes up and the printer won't run. I wasn't able to put the cable back in and had to take it to a repair shop. Then I reordered new ink, but I thought before I would clean it again as two colors weren't showing. I pulled the magenta and the cyan carriages out. I didn't exactly know how to extract the ink. Put everything back and did 3 nozzle check and my colors were back. As the White Lines. Did a search for White Lines and your video came up... I changed the paper settings to Matte and no lines.... You a Amazing Miracle... I don't know why I had to go through so much drama.. I have bookmarked your site in case I see the question of White Lines. ATYSM!

I have two Epson printers. The WF-4630, which I'm still using and the same one with dual paper trays of which the model escapes me (I did an Office Space to it when it wouldn't even attempt to print with brand new cartridges). I am not impressed with Epson printers based on my experience. On the WF-4630 I'm experiencing horizontal banding which none of the usual fixes help. I'm close to getting out the baseball bat for some practice on it.

[@Renarocs]

Have you tried making sure the printer and computer settings are the same when it comes to the paper selection? Since you have 2 printers, try checking to see which one is chosen as the default and in printer preferences. Also, sometimes with the automatic updates my default printer gets switched to offline. Hope these tips helps.

[@nanaturner5546]

Thank for the video, but I noticed your paper is glossy I only use reg printer paper, will this make a difference in color / lines I have Epson ET4800

[@Renarocs]

It may depend if your printer is inkjet or laser and if the vinyl you are using is compatible with the printer. Not sure. If it works fine on all others types of paper it may be the vinyl or the settings for it on the Computer or printer.

[@jarryjayo]

All of the epson and Workforce and tank printers have this problem. Epson knows about it yet does nothing to fix it because they would have to do a redesign of all of there printers. there was a time when epson had good printers but that time is over. they just don't care anymore, Buy a HP or canon because they don't do this, ie waste ink like crazy like it's free. When I print a page with my Hp 100 dollar printer it opens the tray out of the printer and prints the page perfectly. NOT my epson. I've found a trick that makes the printer work a bit better. here it is. turn off in the printer settings in software Fast printing. everytime I print a picture with fast printing on it screws it up with lines. when dealing with cartridge printers, when the ink gets low that's when you start to run into trouble too. sometimes you just have to declare bankruptcy on that cartridge and move on with your life. LOL

[@Renarocs]

I will try it the next time I have this problem. These printers require the correct setting for the printing job or issues will occur. Thanks for the tip!

[@jarryjayo]

@@Renarocs it's stupid that you have to deal with that. Because you don't with other printers. I only have a Epson because I need to print on the dvd disc and Epson owns the patent on printing on cd/dvd's but as soon as I am done with burnable media I am done with Epson and it's screwball nonsense. the ink tank printers are nice, you get two years of ink that comes with the printer but it does you no good because if you don't print a color page each week the print head will get clogged and the printer will not print, then you need to buy the service cartridge that costs 10 to 20 dollars each that all of the remaining ink that doesn't print goes into. that is how epson regains the money from printing with the printer. one set of ink bottles costs you two service cartridges that go in the back of the printer. I paid 500 dollars for this printer btw, but have used so far two service cartridges. not a deal. just thought you would like to know. If I was you, I would get a nice color laser printer. less problems and trouble too.
