Digital BW, The Print

Just to clarify, the issue I have (and the reason I started this 
thread) is with the MIS R1800 inkset (5 colors, eboni, PK and GLOP) NOT 
the R1800 printer itself. With the Epson R1800 OEM inks I get 
absolutely no banding on any colors at all. With the MIS inks all 8 
channels (colors) band.

The problem is with the MIS R1800 inset on gloss paper, not the 
printer. The printer is fine. 

From the work Paul has done we also know that it works very well with 
the 3MK approach. So it does two things well - run OEM inks and 3Mk 
which is one more than Epson ever promised us it would.
