Re: Epson R1800/QuadTone Rip: Darker band near left border

2009-04-06 by christoph fischer

after the print head adjustment everything was ok yesterday. but not today... i changed to epson ink. almost no banding, when using QTR it seems to be better with 1400x1400super setting (no banding with only black, one ink) than the 2800!! (jettec ink is beyond question. they just have been delivered with the printer. lots of clogging!!)

> I have not used Cone inks in an 1800 but do use MIS (Image >Specialists) inks in one. Banding is just visible in very strong >sunlight when first printed but funnily enough it seems to disappear >after a while. HP Glossy paper showed the worst banding but even <this disappeared after a few weeks. (!)

after printing i won't know whether the banding will disappear or not...

thanks for this and Pauls' advice!
