Hey!

Thanks Stephen & Roy for your replies.

I am now getting this to work on my PX-G5000 (aka R1800). Cool.

However, when printing as suggested with the 1440 x 1440 setting, I get
very prominent banding, especially evident in the semi dark areas (how's
that for a technical term?). When I try at the max setting, I don't get
this, but I do get lots and lots of ink dumped on the paper (although I
guess I can limit this with the ink limit control). I don't get any
banding at all when printing through QImage etc (and I aligned the head
just the other day too).

Is this banding at 1440 x 1440 normal, or is something else afoot?

Hope I don't sound like a whinger. Already the results look much better,
so I'm actually very happy.

Thanks again.

Dean
