QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Michael,
it seems not every 1400 has this issue. I had problems with these very thin lines and i didn´t get it under control. I bought my 1400 at Amazon. I went to an authorized Epson Dealer & Service Partner and told him my problem. Of course i didn´t tell him about QTR. I also didn´t tell about bw. I just said i have these lines printing my photos.
He took my 1400 and send it to Epson and he told me it will take about three weeks for repair(?) or get a new one. And the surprise: Four(!!!) days later i got a call:"Your new printer is ready to go...".
The service partner told me, that they called Epson and that they send the printer. Epson said ok, and send parallel a new one to the service partner.
Thats really quick and Epson send the new one without seeing my printer.

I dont have these hard problems with the lines anymore. And if i have some lines, i just set up the inklimit. In some hard cases i re-edit the photo to a little bit darker.

But with the first printer i was going mad. I was dreaming about these lines. ;) Horrible...


So, if you have warranty and dont get the lines under control, try to get a new printer. Maybe helps... 

Greetings from Cologne/Germany

It appears to me as if the printer has missed printing on some of it's passes.  The problem occurs regardless of whether I use the MIS curve or either of the two 'straight' QTR curves which come with the program.
