Your English is OK. But do have a question for clarification. Need to
understand your meaning of "band". The printer prints in both
directions. There are many nozzles for each color. Each pass prints
about 12mm wide strip/band. Are you saying you are seeing the white
stripes closely spaced like a nozzle was blocked or you are seeing the
wide 12mm bands with alternating bands of yellow and white, like the
printer was not printing when the carriage moves in one direction but
prints in the other direction?

Answers would be different depending upon meaning of "band"
