Banding continues

2011-01-25 by Paul Kohl

I know that this problem has been discussed much before but I am 
struggling and need some input.
This is about an Epson 10600 using Cone K6 inks. There is one image 
made from a Leica M9 raw file that has banding issues in the sky. It 
is a smooth dark gray (image is now black and  white), darker at the 
top of the frame, lightening as it moves into the image.
I have tried: head cleaning, alignment checks. rotating the image 
180, rotating the image and printing on roll stock so I can have the 
image horizontal. In all cases, nothing has affected it. The banding 
continues in the direction of the head movement.
It is not detectable in the other areas of the image but shows 
clearly in the sky.
I have printed this image on a 7880 through ImagePrint and it is perfect.
I really would appreciate some suggestions as to how to try and 
correct this problem.
All ideas and suggestions will be studied.
Thanks,
Paul
