Digital BW, The Print

I am getting banding printing BO with my Epson C86 + EEM + Epson 
Durabrite black ink. Cleaning and alignment cycles did not improve 
the prints. I am printing files that have a 500 ppi resolution.

I too observed that MIS EZ prints were neither smoother nor more 
detailed than BO prints, rather just cooler. I wonder where I am 
doing wrong. I would love to get from somebody on the forum a good 
EZ MIS print done according to Paul Roark + a good BO print done 
according to Clayton Jones, and try to print the same files myself, 
in order to understand where the mistakes are.
