Small prints banding

2003-12-15 by neilsphoto

Thanks for the replys,

Well as to what type of banding I don't know.  Wasn't sure I should refer to this 
as banding.

I did a cleaning cycle,  2 cleaning cycles really just cause I never had with a 
nozzle check after each just about 8 5x7s before I got to these smaller prints.

The 5x7s were fine in all tones. No signs of the banding and one imabe has a 
large expanse of nearly blank sky.   Zero banding. 

So Microbanding is cured by cleaning?    Would Ebony for some reason make 
the banding more obvious than if I were using Matt black?

What about Dither banding?   

tobight I'm going back to the same print after a nozzle check and clean. Than 
I'l try it  larger and see if it is all down to the size.

I'm also wondering if I should tale the print resolution in the Image size 
window down lower than 240ppi.  It  almost looks like I'm trying to cram too 
much into too little space.   

Thanks

Neil
