QTR-Quadtone RIP

Incidentally, I should add that when I was having this problem with 
1440dpi prints it was not a problem with just with qtr. I tried black 
only printing with the Epson driver and that also showed terrible 
banding even though I could make very nice BO prints when the printer 
was new.

My nozzle checks are fine and the head alignment is as good as I can get 
it with the tests you can run so I really don't know what the problem is.

I use refillable cartridges from MIS and I have ordered some 
replacements in case these are getting a little 'tired'.

regards
Howard
