Hi Guys, I just bought an Epson 3000 printer, an MIS FS inkset and started printing this morning. My problem is the prints have a series of horzonial lines, 9mm apart from top to bottom. Scott

Scott, That sounds like it could be a paper transport problem. Have you printed a 20" image and measured it to be sure that the image is 20" long. I think mine is only about 1/32 off, and I do not get that wide banding. Paul http://www.PaulRoark.com ____________

Paul, I've only made about 5 letter size prints and they look like someone took a light gray pencil and horizonially marked the prints every half inch or so. The lines are very thin but lots of them and very annoying. I was feeling like a digital surgeon after mastering the filling for the virgin cartridges but now this...

Usually a printhead alignment or head cleaning problem. Try both and then do another nozzle check. Jerry The 3000 printer is famous for banding and unsquare prints? Unsquare? new term! scottrobinsonphoto wrote:
