Understanding microbanding?

2009-05-21 by jag24x

Hi,

I have the R1800 with my odd inkset(Eboni or UT ...whatever) of 6 inks. I ran the calibration sheet in QTR. Only 2 inks have microbanding, the other 4 are fine.

Say if I had the same EXACT DILUTION AND COLOR of ink in those 2 microbanded inks. Could I then utilize those 2 inks when printing to cancel out microbanding? 
How would I do this? 
I think I might have an answer but want someone to confirm it for me?
So setup is 2 inks exactly the same, but both are microbanding.
I only want to print that one color ink, but I can't because of microbanding. So I utilize both the inks and set the ink limits to both to 50 in the Curve creation.
Is this correct?
Thanks
