I find that with an R1800 with 3MK I sometimes get micro-banding on
certain papers while the same image on another one will not have it.
Could it be related to different dot gains on different coatings? I've
never ever seen any banding using Somerset Enhanced. Sadly it does not
work for all images.

Could one use MIS "UC Base" as a base to dilute MIS MK Eboni? Are they
compatible? Should be since the MIS UC R1800 colors use Eboni in the
black MK position right?

Thanks,
