Epson Wf545 Lines In Black And White Print From Computer

Same question, white lines in black and white image print, only with black and white images. I have cleaned the head 3 times and aligned the head three times, with no improvement. Have gone through 1/2 of my ink already. Been to the Epson website but they just say to do what I have done. any other suggestions?
