Re: [Digital BW] Horrible banding with new 1280 and eboni ink

2003-03-19 by Eileen Chun

Jerry,

I have just installed the Black & White Ultra Tones in 1280 system last
night.  I did not use a CIS system for this, as I wanted to try the ink
in cartridges first.  I filled them last night, ran a test purge print,
and got banding on half of the six stripes.  I let the cartridges sit
overnight, and before I left for work tried it again.  I still got
banding, but now it is on all the stripes.  I am that concerned as this
was similar to the banding I was getting when I was running a CIS
(Niagara G4 ink) on the 1280 prior.  In the end, the ink settled when I
left it alone for about a week (as prior posts have indicated), ran a
couple of cleaning/nozzle checks, and everything was fine from that
point forwards with a few nozzle checks when I didn't use the printer
for awhile.

Perhaps, I am jumping the gun with this inkset that it shows great
promise, but I am very hopeful that this new ink(at least for me) set
will work out well.
