Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Banding On the Epson P800

2017-02-05 by Felix Martin

I got my P800 about a year ago. I use it mainly for creating negatives using QTR for platinum printing.

I have never had any problem except that the printer and inks were too new to have people use it enough to get help fine-tuning the curves.
With the help of people here (thanks Clay Harmon and Kerik Kouklis) I get excellent results.

What do you mean by banding? The transition between greys or bands created by the printer mechanism?
I would not give up the fine control of QTR now.
