QTR-Quadtone RIP

Nemo, Saturday here I wondered something similar with Epson 2200 
and  OEM pgments...  microbanding in "lighter tones" with both 
Entrada Bright White and Moab Kayenta, Moab's "proofing" paper that 
I've begun to prefer to Entrada...this microbanding is a new 
irritant so I'm wondering if it has to do with my failed attempt to 
update 2.3.14 : 

" 
...I've recently been plagued by micro banding both in color and QTR.
The color issue seemed fixed by using the fast speed and 2880, but
that didn't help the QTR. The QTR was fixed by using ADAPTIVE HYBRID
dither...I tried the others without success. With a previous QTR
release I'd used the Casey Stengal Dither (or was it Tom
Delay?)successfully.

Yes, I've done the maintainance checks...everything's perfect. I'm
using OEM pigments, have never had a clog or maintainance issue.

What do you find to be related to micro banding? What dither do you
find most effective with 2200? "
