QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi,

        I am using an Epson photo stylus 870 and Lyson quad black ink. I
am a newbie but I have managed to get a very acceptable neutral print
after a lot of false starts only to have my rejoicing and Roy Cheque
halted by this phenomenon ( the feint light band in the last 10mm). I
have read a few of the posts on banding and came accross the one
refering to the weave at the begining and end of a print. The suggestion
then being to leave  a larger border arround the print. Is my problem in
this category? and if so does this mean that I should always reduce the
landscape by 10mm at each end? As far as I can tell - though they were
different  subject matters  - it does not appear to be present in
portrait mode. Having said this it is still a great product that pays
you back for all the effort to get to grips with curves and I would go
as far as saying the prints are arguably as good if not better than I
used to get out of a darkroom ( bear in mind I am not a pro)

Kind

The linearized printing profile and continuos tone do depend upon an enhanced 
microweave effect - getting too close to the end of the paper becomes a papertransport 
issue which could -and obviously does result in a band - Note - this will be different from 
printer to printer - even the same model - it may be different from paper to paper as well, 
or even different runs of paper from the same manufacturer -
