QTR-Quadtone RIP

This is a head alignment issue compounded by the wrong thickness setting and/or platen gap and/or print speed and/or paper feed speed. What you need to do is align your heads using Epson Glossy paper or some other thin paper.

Walker

When in PS, I have been able to make them disappear when I increase the media thickness setting, set printing to unidirectional (turn high-speed printing off), introduce a delay in printing each pass, and by reducing the paper-feed adjustment.
