I've seen this on my client's 4000 and 4800 with QTR/Epson's inks.

Seems if there is an odd file resolution - like 688.59  - banding with reverse density will 
occur at the darker print values. That and it seems burning or dodging only increases the 
problem for some really strange reason.

Solutions that helped was to resample to 360 or 720 (whatever is closer to native file 
resolution) but also he switched to PhotoKit to burn and dodge corners and sides. 

It's really odd! Might want to also try a different dithering pattern to see if that will help. Go 
to "Printer Features" in the QTR driver.
