Digital BW, The Print

Andy,

I have noticed a difference in smoothness and banding among my BO
experiments on the same printer with the same ink and settings.  I don't
know what causes it.  I think that I did a cleaning cycle even thought the
nozzle check looked fine and it improved it.  

So, I'd first be sure the best settings are used, but I'd also consider
trying a cleaning cycle even though the nozzle check looks good.

I don't think the chips make any difference.
