QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks Paul. In this day and age we do expect perfection, don't we !!

     I think the 1400/1430's tendency to microband in the first and last 1 inch with QTR is fairly well documented on the forums and elsewhere.  It's a function, I believe, of less than perfect paper transport when only one of the paper transport rollers is engaged.  It's probably true of all of these printers, but it seems to show up more on the 1400 family, perhaps because of the small dot size.  The Epson driver apparently compensates for the less-than-perfect paper transport with a dithering algorithm that hides the problem.  QTR does not, at this point.  
Once aware of the characteristic of these printers, there are ways to avoid the issue.  I continue to think the 1400 family has been a very cost effective machine, but like most things, it's not perfect.

     I had seen this 1 inch margin discussion befor but hoped there was a better solution. If there really is a problem using QTR with the 1430 why is this printer being recommended by Paul Roark? I based my purchase soley on this recommendation and will not bevery happy to have such a work around needed. The epson driver works quit well although as others have noted has less detail in the lighter areas. I really want to use this machine with QTR and all of the controls available. Has Mr. Roark ever responded to this issue?
