Thanks for the suggestion Jerry, but it's not a printer nozzle issue,
it seems to be a roller issue.  I just printed three more perfect
prints, no banding.  I stopped because as I mentioned earlier the
rollers started to squeak and that's when the banding starts. If it
was the nozzles then I would not be getting perfect prints at all I
imagine.

Best regards,
