having done some more printing the feint blue lines are more regimented ... almost like its printing a lined page in the background.  Printing a sheet of lined page seems to have cleared it, maybe it got stuck.

However now there only seems to be magenta ink getting through .... could be cleaning time.

Yeah false alert lines are back , really weird as looks like lined paper. Black ink not coming through correctly so maybe air in tubes. May have to flush tubes through but not convinced that will fix lined paper issue.
