Yes, the lines are horizontal. Evenly spaced, about 1mm apart, running across the print. They are more pronounced in darker areas. The nozzle test checks out, but I've ran a few cleaning cycles anyway. I'm also printing BO during this troubleshooting process to simplify things. What's odd is that the lines only started printing after I swapped the inks. The other change that took place at the same time was changing the color settings in Photoshop (as per the UT2 readme), but I doubt that has anything to do with it. I've since replaced the Epson stock ink in trying to revert to original state, but that obviously didn't make a difference. I'm at a loss.. so any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated! :) Thanks, Robert. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Paul Roark" <paul.roark@...> wrote: > > If the lines are horizontal and not vertical, it's banding, not pizza wheels > (which are also only a problem on glossy paper).
