Digital BW, The Print

my prints at 2880 are very smooth. If they got 
any smoother it would just about have to effect
sharpness ;-)

Hogarth, do you see any soft vertical banding when
printing at 2880?  I experimented with it once,
creating a linearization in SP v.10, but got I very
soft, subtle, vertical bands.  In response, the guys
at ErgoSoft said that such banding is common with 2880
and that 2880 is just an inherently problematic mode
that almost no one uses.  The Epson tech support guys
said essentially the same thing.  Any insights?
