I have a simple solution to all your problems:    BUY A  4000!!!!
 
Big carts and the best BO. You have used up the $1295 price tag already  with 
all the dinkin' around with these little crappy desktop units and hard to  
use software.
 
Besides, the 4000 head are so "tight" tolerance wise that you actually CAN  
use the high spee/bi-directional setting on the Epson driver and there is NO  
banding. At 1440, I can spit out an 8x10 in 3:09 flat.
 
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, don't

I know, and believe me I've thought about it.  But I'd have to partly
rebuild my studio to make it fit, and at 90 lbs I'd need help moving
it, and I never print that big.  Plus I frequently swap carts...it
just doesn't add up.  Also, like the 2200s, they are now over 2 years
old and mechanical things eventually wear out.  My 2200 was a
workhorse but its paper feed mechanism was failing.  The 4000 will
probably outlast the 2200, but not forever.  Think what your options
might be when your 4000 finally  kicks the bucket...I'd guess that
lots of things in your workflow will change.

Clayton
