Re: 1280 and Eboni BO - banding in the midtones

2005-06-01 by Michael Hung

Print the purge sheet.. (you can cut off the colour bars to save ink
there).. 

Most likely it's the black ink that's clogged.. (It won't show up in
nozzle checks).. 

If this is the problem, your purge sheet should show the banding in
the black bar that would eventually go away.. (I haven't needed more
than 1 purge sheet to clear that up)
