RE: [Digital BW] 3000 banding

Hi Jan,

> The heads align perfectly with the paper,

Sorry to say, but that means nothing.  There are other print head alignment
procedures besides the one built-in the driver utility.  I would STRONGLY
suggest you take it back to whomever replaced the printhead (I assume it was
an Epson authorized service center) and have them run a FULL alignment on
it.  They (Epson) do NOT release this alignment software to the general
public, and as such, ONLY they can do this alignment (unless you happen to
have the ability to have written your own alignment utility, or know someone
who has, and they are willing to let you use it).  They should not return it
to you until they can see NO banding in their own test images.
