Digital BW, The Print

Media street advised me to let the inks I removed sit overnight and 
try again.
Instead, I installed the second set of inks I'd bought from them (in 
all my moronic enthusiasm for saving the buck).  I just went through 
two clean/align cycles and I've still got banding all over the place.
I don't know...surely these must work for some people that they sell 
them to.  They can't be surviving with no repeat business at all!

Now I've got to wast good Epson ink switching back and see how much 
of this useless stuff they'll give me my money back on.

Stay tuned for the customer service part of our show....
