Re: help diagnosing this 0-100% printout?

2010-01-19 by jespes

hello,
thanks, nozzle check is perfect, heads are aligned etc. no banding, no badness at all  except the midrange falloff....

and profiling is greek to me. 

question: would that new plugin that roy just rolled out be what i need? i read the instructions and admit to getting confused.
