Hello everyone, I've been having some faint printing issues with my HP Envy for awhile now and I am not sure what is causing these things to happen.
Whenever I print a picture in color, I get very faint horizontal lines, they're difficult to see but they are definitely there and shouldn't be. Is there anyway for me to stop my printer from causing these lines to show up?
I've attached a picture of some stickers I made that have the lines on them, most notable on the blue one!
