Re: any canon ipf wide format ninjas around?
Did you resolve this?
I had similar problems before with an iPF8300S whereby one of the matte black grids was actually printing out cyan and the cyan grid was not coming out correctly at all. Ended up being a purge unit issue - the waste ink was pooling on those little pads when it was going through it's cleaning cycle and then it would contaminate the lines.
Try booting into service mode and running a nozzle1 pattern under the service mode prints. If you print in normal more the nozzle check test will try to compensate for misfires in nozzles. The service version is the true output - I think it's under menu -> service mode -> adjust -> print pattern -> nozzle1.

Re: any canon ipf wide format ninjas around?
To anybody that works on wide format....MAKE SURE MEDIA CONFIGURATOR TOOL IS INSTALLED. Everyone thinks that this is to just add new media types..yes....it also corrects issues with existing media types(print head height,etc). Just installed an update myself that corrects issues with matte black on various media. A lot of techs think if customer only uses one type of paper all the time don't need to install. WRONG....it updates currently registered media also. Solved a lot of head dies premature,bands,etc by having installed and doing updates. Bottom line....install what Canon says to install
