Digital BW, The Print

Hello Arthur,

Something similar happened to me once.  While researching digicams I
downloaded and printed several sample images from dpreview.com.  One
of them had slightly dark bands running horizontally through the
landscape oriented print, opposite to head travel.  They were evenly
spaced, about 3/16" wide.  Didn't look anything like microbanding or
dither banding.  At first I thought the printer was goofy, but other
prints were fine.  That print always had it.  I couldn't see anything
in the image on screen.  Never did figure it out.

So try other images and see what happens.

Regards,
Clayton
