RE: [Digital BW] Banding

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

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. 

Any suggestions?

thanks
matt
