Re: [Digital BW] ?1280 banding

He's right. The number one reason for bading is usally when people try to use bi-
directional printing with the high-speed on, then double check  head allignment, if not 
that it could be partially clogged heads which could be resolved with the cleaning carts.

You should also try another driver setting by changing either the profile or the media type 
setting. That is worth trying also. But if you have had good results with a particular profile 
it wouldn't be that.
