Re: [Digital BW] Light banding-- what are the signs of it?

2002-09-18 by Albert Wang

Hi Martin,

thanks so much. I did the full printer head realignment and yes it's 
most evident on EAM using a loupe... I don't notice it much unless 
I'm looking at the print from an angle about 30 degrees south rather 
than straight on.

I wonder whether Piezography BW with continuous tone will outdo the 
limited Epson driver. I am considering upgrading to a ICC profile 
from Cone for the C80 so that I can print at 2880 dpi without 
hesitation on matte paper and it is rather irritating that the Epson 
driver limits it to only 1440 dpi.
