Digital BW, The Print

Hi Sarah:
Sounds to me like it's an issue with your particular 2200. I have a 2200 and 
have produced many BO prints with Clayton's method with no banding, micro or 
macro. I use the Epson PK ink for luster and glossy images and Eboni for 
matte. So I don't think it can be a general 2200 problem unless I happen to 
be very lucky with my machine.

Subject: [Digital BW] less micro-banding on 4000? Please??


Hi All....

I'm feeling incredibly frustrated with the micro-banding in the midtones on 
my 2200. I've
done the nozzle checks/head alignments and even tried lowering the number, 
as Clayton
suggested - all to no avail. The prints just look terrible, with both 
vertical and horizontal
banding in any large expanse of mid-gray, but nowhere else. The horizontal 
lines show up
as three lines quite close together, some space, then three more lines, on 
down the print,
with the verticals appearing a bit thicker and evenly spaced.

What the h*** am I missing (printing BO, btw)?? I've looked at past posts 
about this and
don't see anything I haven't tried. Is this a 2200 issue that is improved on 
other models
like the 4000? Is it my image?

And....has anyone definitively determined that the 3800 prints true BO?

Thanks!
Sarah
