Hi
When I initially printed the color test photo on photo quality paper, things looked great... However, this is because 1) a better type of paper is being used, and. 2) the pixels are crammed together tighter , like on a TV set with a smaller screen ... The quality of the picture on the smaller screen is much better than that viewed on the larger screen.
I made a test doc in Word. To avoid using up the color cartridges' ink, the test was only in Black.
The test consisted of a thin vertical rectangle... about 1/2" wide that was filled in black. On the screen it looked great, but when I printed it , these horizontal, parallel white lines , spaced 9/16" apart showed up.
Another issue:
I was at Best Buy last night asking them to make a test print of a photo, on the 6520. The printout did not have the horizontal white stripes, however, it did have a thin overlap of vertical bands of color as printing went down the page,
I had this problem in one of the 6520s that I returned. So far, I have had four 6520s from Staples that have been bad. I am not blaming Staples.... they may just have gotten a bad batch of printers.
One thing that I don't like is that the guy at Staples told me that if I wanted a refund, that I would get it as credit in a Staples account...that they don 't reimburse my credit card. I don't like this one bit...especially since I do not buy much from them annually. I expect a refund to my card.
Thanx
