One more note on the 1400. I just unpacked it from the GT High Sierra workshop, and it survived its mule trip in and out for the second year without problems. I got lazy and just left the ink carts in the printer for the pack trip out. The nozzle check at home the first time was perfect. Nice. At the 10,000 foot elevation workshop we did notice some microbanding with both the HP PK and MIS LK on glossy papers when printed in a black only (one channel) mode. Neither of these microbanded previously. Today the HP PK is back to printing gallery brochures, and the images don't show any microbanding. So, I'd say elevation and/or very dry air are factors in whether this printer will show the microbanding artifacts with single-channel/BO printing. (The multi-channel matte prints showed no microbanding.) Paul www.PaulRoark.com
