Re: [Digital BW] Re: QTR, GIMP-PRINT resolution

2003-10-31 by Carl Schofield

John,

Were you seeing banding at "1440x720 Highest Quality" or just at the  
plain 1440x720 setting?  I've been using the 1440x720 Highest Quality   
setting with QTR and see no banding.  I use the letter paper thickness  
setting when printing EEM through the sheet feeder and the envelope  
setting for heavier papers via rear feed manual slot.
