Julian,

Which tricks are working to help get the new heads bedded in?

I've just discovered that by completely removing the plastic parts that
held the pizza wheels on my 1160 (rather than leaving them in with the two
outermost wheels intact) that I've helped some banding which was occurring
about 1 inch into the print. I think that the gearing which is supposed to
move these wheels in synch with the main paper trasnsport must be slightly 
out causing some conflicting movement of the paper as it was being advanced.

Hasn't improved enough for me to start using the Piezo driver yet but I'm 
sure there are yet more tricks to try!
