Re: "fine pattern" = head alignment problem on 1160?

2003-10-09 by frankg_photo

Jeff,
It's similar in appearance to the "banding" illustration in the 
printer's (1160) manual. Sort of like the "track" lines in 
a 'corduroy' type of fabric (i hope that makes sense). But they're 
much lighter in appearance and the lines are much closer together 
than the manual's illustrated references show. 

Holding the print/paper in 'portrait'or vertical orientation, the 
lines run horizontally across the print.

The recommended fixes in the manual have been checked as per my 
original post (nozzles, driver settings, alignment etc.).

I am using the sepia>neutral MIS inkset with Paul's curves. PhotoRag  
&/or EAM paper

thanks,
Frank
