Are you talking about microbanding which is visable under a loupe or 
macrobanding which can easily be seen?  What work flow are you using? 
I've had no problems using Paul Roark's 3MK, 4K or 4K+cm work flows on 
my R1800 with QTR.  I haven't tried to profile the standard R1800 K 
and pK inks using QTR.

Are you using thicker paper than usual (which can not feed evenly thus 
creating "macro"banding)

Assuming you are getting perfect nozzle checks then cleaning the 
underside of the print head (using cleaning solution and papertowels) 
and cleaning the print head station to remove dried/excess inks are 
the next steps that have cleared up banding on my 1280s and 1160s in 
the past. 

btw, always good to hear from another JeffERy.
