I had reasons to dig out some older prints made using QTR on my R1410. This was the same as the R1400, but branded differently in certain countries outside the US. These prints would be around 5-6 years old. I couldn't find any micro-banding either, initially. I looked and looked and used a loupe, and eventually I found what appeared to be the slightest hint of it. Further searching found one print where it was almost visible to the naked eye. I think it's there on the 1400/1410, but at a level where it doesn't really matter.

I've never had an R1430, but I know from those who do that it has quite visible micro-banding in the first and last inch. I don't understand the difference either. It's about now I regret getting rid of the R1410, even though the build was cheap and the paper feed unreliable and wouldn't ever feed the paper quite straight.
