RE: [Digital BW] So how "micro" IS micro-banding?

2007-01-04 by Paul Roark

Assuming the nozzle check is perfect, alignment of the print head would be
the next thing to try.  Even after you've done all you can, however, a fair
percentage of printers still show some microbanding when a loupe is used to
examine the prints.  Most are not perfect.

Subject: [Digital BW] So how "micro" IS micro-banding?

 

I'm finally getting good prints using UT-3D on an SP2200 with Musie Silver
Rag and Paul 
Roark's profiles. And to the un-aided eye, the prints look very good. But
upon examination 
with a lupe, I'm seeing micro-banding (mostly in the mid-tones). Once again,
I can only 
detect this banding when examining the prints with a lupe.

Is this normal inkjet behavior, or is it possible to acheive zero banding,
even when 
scrutinizing under a lupe?

Thanks.
