    I'm using city ink express sub inks and sub paper

    printer images via photoshop CS6
    with settings;

    paper type - epson matte
    quality - high
    colour correction - none
    high speed unticked
    mirror image ticked

    when i print something more times then not the black leaks on to the printer
    please see image 20201025_054704.jpg

    don't seem to make a difference
    thanks michael

    I think your print head might be knackered?
    looks like blacks flooding and releasing ink.

    Your first problem is you’re using city ink express inks and paper which is utter dog poop. It’s likely knackered your printhead.

    I have had similar problems and finally found it was paper curling that caused it. I use a 115 gram paper and have got rid of the problem Having said that, if there is the tiniest bit of damage to the corner of the paper that will cause the same issue. If I notice it I cut the offending corner off. I now use Inkexperts paper.
