Digital BW, The Print

It doesn't seem to be print dependent.  I am now printing the second in the
same series and can see the same effect in the leading edge of the black
background (although it is less obvious in the final HPR print than EEM).  I
also took a closer look at the BO prints I made yesterday.  I am not happy
with these either because I can see consistent very fine banding across the
print (horizontal from the perspective of the printhead path - vertical in
terms of the landscape image - is this "horizontal banding"?).  I do not see
this in the QTR prints.  So I seem to be caught betwixt and between!

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

I'm not sure what more I can add, but the weird patterns you see are
the way the microweave works.  It is strange and the exact gray value
being printed does affect it showing during the lay down.  Part of the
reason using QTR shows this more than the Epson driver is that fewer
number of inks are being used.  In the cases I've seen when all the
passes are finished the effect is completely covered up.  But it sounds
like you are left with some kind of scratch-like banding.

Have you always had the problem?  Changed inks recently?  Is it
image dependent?  Slightly tonal changes or just adding a small amount
of noise may help.

Roy
