Digital BW, The Print

Paul and Mark,

Thanks for the suggestions!  I do have the latest Cone plug-in and the 
banding does occur in the Epson driver, but not as noticeably — I 
assume because of the difference in dpi.  

I'm relieved that no one thinks it is because of the loss of all the 
pizza-cutter wheels.  From your comments, it sounds like this may not 
be a printhead issue, which is also good news (trying to be positive 
here...).  On the other hand, what can be done about crummy transport?
