Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I've posted a crop from a print from my Epson 2100 with QTR / Warm curve UC inks ... it's not blocked nozzles because it's *dark* banding. Never seen this before.

The banding runs parallel with the direction of the print head.

You can see it running vertically in the misty trees.

thanks,
Richard

It looks like actual trees to me! In which orientation was it printed?

Is it from a scan? If so could have to do with film
processing.

The vertical lines are the tree trunks.  Also, they are only in the
trees.

Blooming 'eck! I think you're right!!! What an idiot I've been. It's on the negative scan, but because they are so evenly spaced I thought it must have been a flaw in the print - I hadn't noticed it on screen.

Apologies for wasting your time,
Richard

Richard,
You can waste my time anytime! I am new here though and a novice 
trying to learn more about black & white photography.
Sorry for your illness (went to your websites), but I admire your 
work and positive attitude.
Best,
Karen in Austin, TX  USA

Classic Richard!

We've all had one or two of those experiences.

Like the time I struggled with generating a usable calibration print  
for hours, before realizing that one of the ink lines in my  
continuous flow system was completely dry.

Ooops!
