Hello, I posted about this issue a few weeks ago and still haven't solved it, but it has actually gotten worse over time and I have a better picture here to show it.

You can see in this image that above the "P" the print becomes grainy and the colors start separating, then the print becomes consistent and sharp again partway through the "U".

Before anyone suggests that I swap out inks or printheads I've already tried all that, and I don't understand how a faulty printhead could cause this issue anyways. Last time I posted somebody told me it was a faulty printhead, but I just want to make it clear that this fuzzy band only appears one time per print and about 2 feet into the print, not consistently throughout so I'm 99% sure it is not a bad printhead.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or has seen this before? I would be eternally grateful. We are on a budget and hiring a tech is expensive and hasn't really solved issues we've had in the past so trying to avoid that.

Thank you!
