What is causing this?

Can someone please tell me what may be causing the lines in the ink? in the picture you will see. what can i do to fix it?

 

[chopper]

that is called banding, you may need to change your print mode, to a higher resolution if you can, head could be partially plugged, etc...

does changing resolution use more ink?

 

[whgjettdesigns]

and also what is the best way to stop it for good?

You need to figure out what's causing it. Like Chopper said, it could be dirty/plugged nozzles, improper feed calibration, etc... What's your test print look like?

what is the best way to unclog a print head?

 

[chopper]

does your test print show that you have a plugged head?
the best thing to do would be to re post under what type of printer you have, say roland or mutho etc, and then those who own this type of printer could help you with your issues much easier than those of use who may use a different brand of printer,

does changing resolution use more ink?

when you go to a higher value in resolution it will usually do two things, use more ink and take longer to print...

Using the correct profiles? Printer had too many beers? That is usualy my problem.

Post a pic of your nozzle test, that will best determine what to do next.
