printer printing horizontal ink lines

[emilycrutcher]

Hi I purchased a canon pixma mg4250 yesterday, I've printed a couple of documents and they worked perfectly but upon printing photos there are ink lines every cm across the whole page. is there anything I can do to fix this so the quality is smoothly printed rather than broken up by lines? Not owned a printer in over 10 years so I'm a bit slow on them again now, any help appreciated if anything can be done at all.... I'm attaching photos so you know what i mean - the ink levels are all fine as i've barely used it, and the ink doesnt seem faded anywhere else, i've tried both photo paper 250gsm half gloss and standard 80gsm printer paper and both come out the same way with photographs.

This is only natural to inkjet printers. You can produce better photo prints if you use laser printers.
