[Digital BW] Re: Epson 1280 Thin Black Lines on Printout

2004-11-30 by Michael Hung

Did that fix it for you? The thin-lines/microbanding just came back
last night on my 1270.. wasted 2 13x19 prints already. 

Slightly over-filled carts? That's strange. My old cart is close to
finish when that happened last night so I replaced it with a new one.
And it is still there. I switched with a OEM 007 cart and it's working
fine. But once switched back to the new UT2 black cart it's back. (And
I did cleaning cycles and purge prints).

Anyway, I gave up last night and did a tiny test print this morning
before heading to work. It seems to be working ok again.. (But then it
could work fine for half a 13x19 and the 2nd half is bad).

I am getting quite sick of the problems. Would a UT2 CIS work better
or worse? Or should I just dump the setup to get a 2200 and stay with
Epson ink and print with QTR or BlackOnly..
