Re: vertical "banding" with R1800, 3MK (Eboni ink), Moab Kayenta

Hello Paul,

I don't know if this will solve it but a few years ago I had a print
do something like this - about 3/8" wide alternating bands.  Turned
out to be something about the image resolution.  After up-res-ing it a
few % the banding disappeared.  Might be worth a try on a copy just to
see what happens.


Regards,
Clayton
