    Hi guys/gals,

    I have a ESP 7880 and it has start showing marks everytime I print. I use Photoshop CS 6 Extended. The issue appears to be more software than hardware for the following reasons:
    1) the marking are 15 mm from the left side of the print
    2) this does not matter what size I print
    3) I moved an image 7" to the right and the marking was at the same 15 mm on the left side of the image

    What I've done so far:
    1) ran nozzle cleaning
    2) maintenance head alignment
    3) replaced the driver with the latest driver
    4) reset the printer back to factory defaults

    Can anyone suggest anything?

    I've added a sample

    Our machine did something similar and it turned out to be a mixture of ink and paper dust stuck to the underside of the print carriage. A quick wipe and it was fine.

    Yes, I had mine taken in for repair and was told it needed a cleaning for the same reason, mixture of dust, ink.
