Banding on Ilford Gold Fiber Silk with Epson 3800

Hi Everyone. Can members please let me know what settings they use for IGFS. I am using an Epson 3800 with the standard K3 inkset. I mostly print in the ABW mode. After previoulsy getting beautiful results with this paper, I am now getting microbanding horizontally across the page when I print. The printer still prints perfectly on other paper. I have tried all the usual things like nozzle checks, cleaning, head alignment, using the printer test mode to get the best paper thickness, altering platen gap, adjusting paper advance settings, different feeds etc. The only thing that seems to help is changing paper advance settings, but it does not completly eliminate it. What really puzzles me is that the printer continues to work fine with other paper and it didn't previoulsy happen with IGFS. I have posted a similar message on the Epson Wide format forum but haven't had any helpful answers so far. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do about it? Regards, Malcolm
