Do you get a perfect text print from the nozzle check as well? Might be that the heads need a clean if the text print isn't perfect.

You will need to resolve this first, ideally.
Or, try printing at BEST PHOTO or the next level up in photo print quality. Also remove the HIGH SPEED tick to see if all that helps.

Is this printing onto trupix paper with the bright White side up? The quality doesn't look fantastic from the scan so I'm wondering if there is a problem with the print out. Check the head alignment as well ad the nozzle check pattern. The print should look richer on paper than the scan shows.
