Digital BW, The Print

my shots in the dark
1. i had problems with microbanding with VM ink in my
1200, i switched to UT and it went away, i also use a
MIS CFS.
2. okay this is a longshot, i use QTR to drive my
printer and in my first attempts to profile my papers
I found some microbanding in my prints. when i
increased the amount of ink coming out i eleminated
the problem. QTR lets you control this stuff. but if
you use a curve system i think you can more or less do
the same thing. MIS has a tutorial on curve generation
and that may help, maybe you just need a touch more
ink hitting the page.
just some thoughts
