You swapped it? You must tell me where one can swap an old printer for a new one - in New Zealand all the shops expect us to pay for them  :)

It's amazing that you've never had a banding problem. In the last couple of days, I've printed something (one was a big panorama) and had banding appear halfway through the print. No laughing matter

Were you using OEM ink on your 2200?

Whatever ink we use I think paper is the major expense - I'll never go back to MIS as I have enough trouble keeping OEM ink flowing, let alone third party ink.

It it true to say that ink flow problems tend to get worse as printers get older?

thanks,
Richard
