Question on R1800 microbanding

2008-06-08 by Roger

I am wondering how to troubleshoot microbanding in the R1800.  I have 3 
MK carts ready to go into the printer but am not sure which channels to 
put them in and was wondering how you figure out which channels are the 
smoothest.  I don't need simultaneous color prints- I just want high 
quality B&W right now.

I do have QTR.

Thanks for any tips,
Roger
