Re: Any way to remove banding on Epson Stylus 740

2002-08-29 by millerhillsteve

I use a 740 with MIS quad inks. No banding probs. I print at 1440 
with high speed off and microweave on. You still may have a clogged 
nozzle. Do you get a clean nozzle check? If so it's probably the 
speed or microweave that's creating the problem.
