It appears the 1400 tends to microband, at least with Black Only 
printing, if the top border is less than one inch.  I've found some of 
this with the 1800 also, but less so.  I've speculated that the 1.5 
picoliter printers are more sensitive to paper feed accuracy, and that 
they may be best when both sets of rollers are engaged.   

I'm doing a series of cards that require a 1/4" top border, and the 
1400 cannot do it without microbanding, whereas the old 2200 (with 
Carbon-6) has no problem at all with the narrow border.
