Mark,
I'm using the MIS carts for the 890. The Eboni cart is identical to the one for the 1280 (same part number), but the color cart is a different number.
As to your other post, I'm printing at 1440 or 2880. I even tried 720 after reading your post. Doesn't help.
I don't get the banding on my 2200. But I'm not running a dedicated B&W set on it, so of course I can't get a neutral black with the Epson Ultrachrome inkset.
I got the 890 so I could do dedicated B&W printing with various tones (UT-2). Disappointing so far.
Any ideas folks?
Steve

Steve are you using the same carts as the 1280? Or are you using bulk?
I checked out the 890 and the specs look very very close to the 1280
with the exception of being an A4 printer. But when I checked the ink
sets they are the same for the black but a different epson number for
color.
If I can get this cleared up I think I'll try the 890 as the price is
well within my budget. And since the wife decided for me an A4
printer would be plenty big enough I gusee it will LOL.
