Choices, banding yet again

2003-02-06 by Jerry Olson

Hi Julian, Yup, perhaps too many choices.

I'm having a banding problem now, with a sky in a certain file, just in
certain shades of gray, and I've run every cleaning trick I know, get
perfect nozzle checks, etc. Banding happens at 720, 1440, and 2880 DPI.
I cannot see any banding on the monitor, but have spent the last half of
today trying to get rid of it. Only seems to be on this one file, any ideas?
