Re: BO with QTR & a note about MANUAL head alignment

2005-07-31 by Tony Bonanno

Thanks Paul, Tyler, and others for the information.  I think I'd like
to experiment a little with BO and QTR.  I think I've solved my
microbanding problems with BO and the Epson driver this morning.  Was
a no-brainer.  I had been using the AUTO head alignment routine on the
4000, which didn't seem to help.  Tried the MANUAL alignment which is
not decribed in the written  user guide, but is described in detail on
the CD software reference manual.  The Manual head alignment really
helped. :-)

Cheers,

Tony
