Re: Banding On the Epson P800

2017-02-05 by sanking@...

I have no experience with the P800. However, I have experience with banding with many of the previous generation K3 printers, including the R3000, 3800, 3880, 4880, 7800 and 7880. What I have have found is that horitzontal banding is often associated with panel setting, most especially media thickness. For example, I have an Epson 4880 that makes very smooth digital negatives with thin OHP with media thickness set to Standard, but gives horrible horizontal banding with the media set to the actual thickness of the OHP.

No idea if this experience pertains to the horizontal banding people are seeing with the P800, but it may be worth your time to do some tests with head alignment with different media thickness setting to rule it out.
