Printing issue - banding?

Hi all! Having a bit of an issue with my printer leaving a pink overcast when I print light blue. When I print just a cyan square it doesn't do this or red. I thought it was a color calibration issue, but it did this after calibrating. When I did the test, the light magenta was doing a bit of banding. Is that the issue? If so, how do I fix the banding - should I replace the printhead?

Thanks all!

I would look into the light magenta / light cyan print head first. Light cyan could be clogged causing the imbalance. Any issues should show up in the print head test plot. I’d check that first and make sure everything is 100% clean

Which machine type we are talking about? Print the IQ testplot from quality menu. Then it’s easy to get a clue on the issue.
