Hi
have you done a bias calibration for the material you are using, also a media feed calibration. Light colours show banding more than dark if your feeds are out

Hi
sorry can’t see print out on my phone (on holiday in Palma) . Don,t know history of machine but may be slight ink starvation due to dampers needing changing.DOes your machine do auto Environmental check if not its a good idea to do that before printing. Re dampers you can get perfect test print but get banding when printing solid colour due to the amount of ink required. It sounds as if it will be a cyan or light cyan if reds print ok. From the service menu you can print solid bands of colour which will normally give a good indication
