They do run perpendicular to the direction of the print head but 
they are not all equidistant.  One is about half way in the image 
and two others are about at the 1/4 and 3/4 areas, making them about 
1.5 inches apart almost equidistant, but another band is very close 
to the 1/4 band.  

They do not align with the rollers on the printer.  I initially 
thought it was the rollers and cleaned them 3 times until the pad 
showed no deposits, but when I watched the next print being produced 
I could see that two of the bands were in between, and not close to 
being beneath, the rollers.

I appreciate the help.
