Re: [Digital BW] R1800.....?? 3MK possible for other printers, perhaps larger format?

Sarah,

The only time I have seen banding with my 1800 was in the mid tones  
of a step wedge used to print single ink channels for calibration.   
In this case it occurred in the M and R channels.  I have not had any  
banding yet in actual prints using Paul's 3-MK system with both Eboni  
on matte papers and PKN on RC/fiber papers.
