2200 dither & micro banding ?

2200 dither & micro banding ?

2006-02-04 by djon43

It seems like selection of best dither relates to micro banding .. and
PERHAPS to particular releases of QTR...maybe...

...is that your experience?

...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?
