Re: Epson 2200 banding w/BO - Clayton? Anyone?

2006-07-25 by sagaface

Hi All...and thank you so much for your suggestions. I don't know what I would do w/o 
this forum.

I seemed to have solved the problem, but I wish to heck I knew what did it. I did try 
another paper...same result. I also checked to see if there was evidence in the on-screen 
image...none. I did put a new Eboni cartidge in, though that was before the different paper 
and there was identical banding on that paper too. The other cartridge was brand new as 
well, so I don't know if maybe it wasn't sitting right or what. Or even if that what's did it. I 
also changed back to my usual wworking space, but I had been in that space when this 
was happening before, so not sure that had anything to do with it. I also reprocessed the 
raw image in a slightly different manner, but frankly, I doubt that was it. But who knows.

So your guess is as good as mine. I wish there had been a clear-cut resolution, becuase I 
have a feeling it will happen again. It has in the past. Just not this bad.

Thanks once again!
Sarah
