Re: [Digital BW] Banding - what to do?

2002-03-21 by Bill Morse

Charley-
Have you done a nozzle check?  An alignment on the paper you're having
problems with?

That's where to start.

Hi guys -

I seem to be having some problems with banding in the black ink on my
brand-new 1280. 

I don't seem to be getting banding on any other ink color, which makes
me wonder if maybe it's a problem with the ink or head, since it
probably isn't a problem with the advance mechanism.

The bands are _really_ small - so much so that it's taken me a great
deal of prints to be sure that it's happening.

I'm printing with VM ink on EAM using the 1280-mac curves (Adobe RGB,
1440, PQIJ, Auto...) High-speed is disabled.

Should I send the printer back? Is it a problem with the ink I'm
using? Do I have a clog?
