Re: Horizontal banding in midtones using R1800, MIS 3MK and QTR on Epson EEM

Steven,

Thanks for sharing this. I did print using single channels only and I
did notice some differences in the banding. Some are worse than others.

But before swapping MK PK and GLO, I did another test print on EEM
using the MIS ALPHA curve.

Strangely NO banding appears.

This banding issue is a real mystery.

I'll keep your suggestion in mind for when (if) it returns.

Denis
