Re: banding with R220 using Eboni MIS ink for BO printing

Thanks again, Philip,

I'll take your advice and just cool it for a while and see how that goes.

I don't even know where the landing pad is--- and not sure what
cleaning fluid to use... so guess I don't have to worry about that
right now!

Regards,

Paul
