1. Do a few head cleanings. One missing nozzle stripe can cause banding
2. Do a printhead alignment
3. Be sure your printer is set to heavy paper if you are using anything
thicker than typing paper.

Do you mean the 0 to + paper thickness lever on the right ? That this 
should be moved up towards the back of the printer, the + side, or 
somewhere inbetween.
