Brother mfc-j5910dw

[Lights142]

Hi everyone im having a problem with my Brother mfc-j5910dw printer,im using Sub ink and custom icc profile from cityinkexpress but when i print most images, there are light lines going through the images.i have tried different profiles and settings and had no joy.i watched a conde video on how to set up my profile in photoshop and it still came out the same.i have tried printing in illustrator and sillhouette studio with no joy.All my test prints and nozzle checks are coming out fine but when i print its still the same other then some really clear images i can find, even shapes made in illustrator are printing with lines.


Any help would be much appreciated

what settings do you use to print your image?

[Lights142]

my settings are

colour handling; photoshop managers colours

printer profile; my profile

rendering intent; perceptual

media; plain paper

print quality normal

on my colour setting in photoshop i have it set to convert to working rgb (colour management policies)

I assume that they are the print quality settings (plain paper/normal quality) that you used to print the test chart for CIE?
Was there lines in print when you did the test charts? (if so, this could have skewed the resulting ICC's accuracy)
Plain paper/normal is not the best in terms of print quality, and I would have thought to get the best out of your prints, you'd want to be printing at a higher quality.
As for the lines, I am puzzled, as I would have thought a nozzle check/alignment would have solved that.
Which direction are the lines - I assume that they are horizontal across the page, in line with the direction of the print head movement?

Hi the icc profile came with printer so i can only hope cityink have done the correct checks,i have tried it with other profiles including standard brother ones and also with letting printer decide colours and yes the lines are horizontal across page and i think inline with printer head, with maybe 3 to 4 per image.I would also like to add it was doing the same thing with my epson pigment ink printer until i used the quality printing setting but it has made no difference with the brother, im also using a mac if thats any help.

this is settings you should use to print your transfer

Hi Paul many thanks haven't pressed them yet but printed a treat, sorry to bug everyone and this may be for another thread could i use those setting for my epson workforce 7015 for printing heat transfers with pigment ink.

Many thanks
