Digital BW, The Print

One thing you could try now that I think about it is to limit the ink globally in QTR. If you click on the advanced setting you can do that. Try reducing it a lot on the first try and do a test print to see if that does anything. If it does you can fine tune that slider and save setting. However, usually that effects dmax and potential shadow detail, not banding issues but it is worth a try. Also trying a different  black ink cart, especially if it is old ink.

The ink had been sitting on a shelf for about 8 months through the summer in a partial bottle and I think had thickened a bit.
