Re: Epson 1160 and MIS/VM and microbanding

Don,
Sounds like one of your inks is not making its way through all the 
nozzles of the print head. Try printing  the "purge" file from MIS, 
without any color management and see if it is confined to one ink. 
It may well be some air in the cartridge. I think that MIS suggests 
three clean cycles on the printer and then printing the purge file 
again. If it does not clear after a few pages them maybe you need to 
prime you cartridge again. Don't give up, the 1160 is worth it.
