Paul:
Honestly, I haven't had Epson inks in this printer for a long time. Put
the quads in a few months ago, had problems (i.e. posterization) and
gave up for a bit. After the head replacements, the posterization is
gone. When we did print with Epson inks, I seem to recall sometime
banding, other times not.
Front fee. 1440, Error diffusion, high speed off, etc.
Epson authorized repair.
I fear that, as you say, we have a bad one.
This may be a moot point as we have the 10000 archival for color and big
stuff and I'm picking up my new 2200 with IP5 tomorrow. That said, I'm
still miffed at paying a ton of $$ for a sortof repair.

Stan,
Does the 3000 band with Epson inks in it?
How are you feeding the paper into the machine? (I use the front tray
with
EAM with good results.)
Be sure you're at 1440 and Error Diffusion driver settings.
The Epson tech people apparently have alignment software that can do
things
we can't do. I assume that the repair person was an authorized Epson
repair
person.
I'm no expert in 3000's, but my sad conclusion from the old Piezo list
was
that there are "bad" apples that will not print well no matter what is
done.
Paul

Agreed. I've checked alignment (with a 15x loupe); nozzle checks are
perfect. Is this possibly a paper advance issue? I'm just looking for
anything to tell the repair guys that might point them in the right
direction. Of course, their first comment (when I took the 3000 in)
was
"Well, these aren't OEM inkls." I've heard that before.

Stan,
I'd be a very dissatisfied customer until the 3000 could print
visually
smooth prints -- no visible artifacts (without a loupe) with quads &
the
Epson driver. I, luckily, have no experience (yet) with the realities
of
getting Epson repair people to get a mal-functioning 3000 back to that
standard, but I'd be inclined to take the machine back and tell them
to
get
it right.
Paul

My 3000 returned from the shop with new heads (they put in three new
color heads and 2 black before they were happy).
I guess happy is a relative term. Still getting the "corduroy" look.
i.e. alternating light density bands (+- 1/8") with correct density
bands.
VM inks, Paul's workflow, PS7, Win 2K, Epson HWM. Any ideas as the
service dept (and I'm not through with them yet, even though they
think
they have done all they can do)
Any help greatly appreciated.
Also getting my 2200 and IP5 this week. More on that later.
