Matt You can have two kinds of banding white lines or colored lines Banding is caused by nozzles not shooting straight down. As the printer prints it overlays the colors if some nozzles are not perfectly lined up you will get the banding. some times it is caused by paper feeding problems but 99% of the time its print head problem you need to do nozzle test on glossy or good inkjet paper and you have to look at the spaces between the steps with a 10X loop they all have to have the same space and line thickness. Hope this helps I work on a lot of Epson printers were an authorized service center for Epson Joseph Cettina We Can Fix Anything http://www.lagunaservice.com Buy Products Below WholeSale http://www.jcpalletgoods.com -----Original Message----- From: Matt Haber [mailto:matt@...] Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2005 7:48 PM To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Digital BW] Banding I'm having a great deal of difficulty with banding on my 1280 loaded with UT2. I'm getting perfect nozzle checks, and i believe the problem might be improved with print head alignment. However, when i print the test pattern, #2 and #3 have one line and some scattered dots; #3 doesn't even have a straight line. I've cleaned under the heads recently with towel/ammonia, so i think it's not that likeley that i have gunk there.
