QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi folks,

I've just converted my 1430 into a BO printer, the same way I did my 1400.
I'm using QTR to drive it. On a tiny 4"x6" test print, the microbanding
starts nearly an inch from the edge. On the 1400, almost a full bleed of
the 4x6 print would work. I haven't tried a larger print, but on the 1400,
I certainly got some microbanding if I came closer to the edge than 1/2"
on a 13x19 print, but not on the smaller ones.

Has anyone else encountered more microbanding on a 1430 than a 1400 using
a BO workflow?

Hmm. I didn't have this problem with the Epson inkset and the Mac Epson
driver, though. Only with BO and QTR.

Hi,





With my 1500W which is the same as a 1430 I have the same problem when using  BO , one reason why I am keeping my old 1270 which seems less prone to it.

From all I have read it is something to do with the paper feed rollers and differences in how the epson driver and qtr dithers the inks near the leading and trailing edge of the print head.
