Hello Michael,

ImagePrint 6.

Assuming you get perfect nozzle checks and a head alignment doesn't
help, I would first try making a print with the built in ABW driver. 
If the banding goes away then you know it's the driver and not the
printer.  If it's still there, then it's probably a faulty head and
needs replacing, hopefully still under warranty.  Good luck with it
and please let us know what happens.

Clayton
