Dave, how can you see the tiny banding on all these prints, and not be
able to tell the difference between the 3000 and 1280 printer? I can see
dots from the 3000 printer from a foot away. I can't see dots with the
1280 with a loupe. I have banding on occasion, but it is always cleared
up by a couple head cleanings.
