wet ink, check for a build up of fibers on the underside of the ink cartridges.
If the problem persists, replace the ink cartridges.
If your copy has white streaks across it, the nozzles may be clogged. Use
a Self-Test Report to determine the problem. If the Self-Test Report has
streaks, clean the printhead. If cleaning the printhead does not help,
printhead may need to be replaced.
