Hello,
I'm having troubles with printing quality for a longer time. With images I have these ugly lines through it and also just regular text isn' looking good. I've tried various settings (although in the past this wasn't even necessary to have good quality). Also when printing from other devices (Iphone, Ipad) I have the same problem.
Can anyone help me with this?

@NielsWellens, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
If you experience the same issue while printing from 3 different devices, it means this is a hardware issue. Let us try these steps:

Clean the ink cartridges

A Print Quality Diagnostic page prints.

If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Clean Again to continue the next level of cleaning. Repeat these steps for the third cleaning stage, if necessary.
NOTE: If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform both levels of cleaning again.
-
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Report, and then evaluate the results.
