When I print with my Ricoh GX5050N, I'm getting thin horizontal black lines about 1cm apart, even on a nozzle check it's fine apart from a thin black line through the middle of the colour blocks.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.

I get them. and I do a couple of cleans then test print, have you tried that,
First thing I tried,
Have you tried the head alignment?Originally Posted by gorgall2
Any chance of posting a pic? Do you get other horizontal lines in-between or just these? Have you checked the paper adjust/feed setting?

Head alignment and paper adjust/feed setting both fine. I've tried more head cleans, this seems to make some of the lines disappear for one clean only to reappear on the next.

these are the lines
Could they be ink on the transfer rollers type wheels that guide/pull the paper through the printer.
I don't think so, as they go across the paper not down it.
What's the size of the Ricoh printhead? If it's 1cm, then that could be a broken printhead that has one of the black nozzles constantly firing.
It's just a thought. I don't own a Ricoh but I'm fairly sure I've seen something similar before when the line was across the page and the same distance as the size of the printhead.
