Re: 1160 mis quad micro banding

2001-08-29 by Martin Wesley

Randy,

How was the printer running before you installed the CIS and quads? 
Was there any banding with the Epson inks? Since the MIS VM is using 
the Epson driver same as the Epson inks the banding should have been 
the same with both unless something got knocked out of alignment 
during the CIS installation.

Is the microbanding visible at normal viewing distances or is this 
something you only see with magnification?
