Re: 1280 and Eboni BO - banding in the midtones

Interesting result with the "misaligned" heads, Clayton.  I'll experiment with my 1280 
tonight, but I'm curious what aspects of print quality improved when you changed the 
head alignment on your 2200?  And thank you again for the enormously time-saving 
advice!  -b
