Andy,
Thanks for your reply. The microbanding was very much reduced with the
lever at O, although I can still see a little with a loupe. I'm still
a little unclear on the definitions of banding, microbanding,
sub-microbanding, etc.. It seems like there are many different opinions
about what these things are. A lot of people say I shouldn't see any
microbanding on this printer, but the written explanations about what
this entails don't really provide enough information to decide what my
printer is doing. I am waiting anxiously to receive the prints from the
latest Hendershot print exchange to look closely at other people's
prints to see if they are getting what I am.
