Digital BW, The Print

Jim,

I have found this to be pretty common with 1280 prints. On mine it seems to
come and go, and is very image dependent. Only shows up in very smooth
tones. I find it much less noticeable than the light microscopic banding I
got with my 1200.

I have let bottles get very low. In fact the yellow ran empty not too long
ago and I had no banding problems.

I have about 90 exchange prints now and if you get out a magnifying loupe
you will find linear artifacts on a great many of them. This spans all of
the printer models from the 1160 to the 7000. It does seem to be driver,
paper and image dependent to varying degrees.

If you can only see it under magnification or at unusually close viewing
distances I don't worry about it. I have stopped looking for this type of
thing and I am much happier. If it is visible at normal distances then all
you can do is go through the normal alignment and cleaning procedures. You
have more experience than anyone in cleaning heads and printer.
