Digital BW, The Print

Jeff,
I spray US within 10mins of printing, no bronzing, then another coat. The
only problem I have is that it shows microbanding sometimes.

Julian;

I have found that using the "glossy film setting" in the Epson driver
reduces any slight  banding. What kind of spray are you using?

setting, I'll trty your suggestions.

Julian;

I do not use the Piezo driver. Even on EAM I had micro banding with the
Piezo driver. My solution was to use the Epson driver which employs good
"error diffusion". With the Epson driver and Paul's curves my micro
banding vanished on EAM. 

On Kodak Satin there is less dot spread so... micro banding is a bit
more of a challenge but from my experience using the Epson driver would
get you going in the right direction.
