Black Streaks; They never disappear.

[bickygurrr]

Hello! I have been using this Brother DCP-T310 Inkjet printer for more than a year now and I am happy with this printer specially when printing documents for schoolwork. But I'm currently facing an issue when printing coloured images. There are these vertical black dotted/lines whenever I print images. But when I print song lyrics, documents, anything that only contain texts, there's usually no issue when printing.

I design tarps and sticker designs so whenever I have to print them, I waste a huge amount of ink and paper. Please help me. I've already tried the correct feed, alignment and improve quality settings and nothing is working. Sometimes they work, but not perfectly. Thank you so much!

Vertical black dotted/lines could be caused by a scratched drum or a dirty corona wire. To solve the problem you should dismantle the cartridge and clean the blade and check low toner cartridge.

Thank you so much for your response! I'm for sure going to check how to get it fixed. Do I have to get a professional to do it or it's fine if I do it myself?
