Digital BW, The Print

Likewise with my 2200...everything looks good.  Helene, have you recently
done the head alignment calibrations on the paper you are using?  In order
to trouble shoot this more completely you would need the IJC application to
actually run single channel scales.  I have banding in two channels of my
7000...and perfect nozzle checks...its likely head starvation.   With IJC
and quad printers you can simply move inks around or deemphasize these
channels in the profile to avoid the banding...but with a 2200 there is
probably not much you can do other than return the printer to Epson and try
another...unless you switch the printer over to a quad solution like the new
MIS Ultra-Quad inks.
