Re: [Digital BW] Argh - microbanding

2001-10-16 by Steadman Uhlich

The sticky sheets come with some of the packages of EAM and specifically say that they are intended for only a few of the Epson printer line...as I recall the 1160 is NOT one of the approved printers. 

I would try the windex on a sheet (better than pickle on a stick) if pressed to the same situation.  Also vacuum and compressed air duster may have some effect.  

By the way...as I recall...you are "not" using PiezoBW inks....so does your episode indicate that other inksets and the Epson driver can show microbanding?  

Good Luck, 
Steadman

  My alignment is good, but I've never cleaned the transport mechanism. Do you
  know how to make the sheet sticky? Did I hear someone say they sprits a
  sheet of paper with Windex and run it through? You think lubing the
  head-travel bar would help??
