Question

Faint white lines when printing from Lightroom Classic

Sometimes when I print 4x6 prints from Lightroom I get faint white lines that go edge-to-edge horizontally across the image. Printing the same image to 5x7, letter, or 13x19 works without issue.

 

I've tried multiple paper types and driver settings and I've been unable to prevent the white lines. If I take the same image into Photoshop, it prints without the white lines, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.

 

It's inconvenient for me to jump into Photoshop just for printing, so I'd rather avoid that, if possible.

 

You can see the lnes on the attached image. There are two lines, one at 3cm from the top and the second at 5.6cm.

 

Any ideas?

    I'll check the specifics when I'm in front of my computer, but I use the
    profile that matches the paper I'm printing on. I don't change the profile
    when I switch from 4x6 to something larger, and the issue goes away when I
    print larger.

    I tested with three different papers to rule out the possibility of a bad
    batch of paper. The issue presented itself with all three paper types/icc
    profiles.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the LRC forum so that proper help can be offered.
