Re: [Digital BW] Piezo/Paul's curves and such

I didn't say that banding was a piezo software bug. It came under the
many things that, all together, left me quite upset with the process.
The bugs I am talking about specifically are the Horizontal stripes,
(This is NOT banding), this was stripes that were printed. NO IMAGE
appeared on the paper, ONLY the stripes. The other was the screen door
pattern which ruined hundreds of prints. These things appeared at
random. I never knew if I was going to get a perfect piezo print or a
paper full of horizontal lines (Thick and Thin, from 1/8th of an inch to
2 inches across), or the screen door pattern. The screen door pattern
sometimes showed up only in light areas like a sky, and sometimes in
only small parts of the print, and sometimes over the whole print.
Sometimes they were barely visible and sometimes you could see them from
2 feet away.  These must have been bugs, because they were fixed in
updates of the software.
