Digital BW, The Print

So, you think it was the ink limits? I guess that's possilbe.

What media setting were you using for the SIlver Rag in the Epson 
driver?

Since there was no mention of settings to use with the samples, I 
selected "Premium Glossy Photo Paper 250" as media type.

The C86 has faint banding (when viewed with the proverbial "naked 
eye") from head to toe.

The 4800 prints only that that type of "banding" on about the last 
1/3 of the sheet of paper. That top 2/3 of the paper was fine. Go 
figure...
