Digital BW, The Print

I recently started using UT7 ink carts for my 2200 and was 
experiencing a lot of banding and other problems. When I called MIS 
tech support, the first thing they told me was to make sure to remove 
ALL of the silver tape on the top of the cart (which I hadn't done) so 
that the small ventilation holes are clear. Now that I have done so, 
the results are much better and the banding is less frequent, but I 
still must run the nozzle check once or twice before I make a print to 
make sure there are no gaps in the test pattern segments. I find if 
there are gaps, I get get the banding.
Hope this helps.
