QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have a site of Digital Negatives in Japan. 

EPSON stylus 2880 Banding Problem has been reported by some persons. 
A problem arises at the top end and bottom end of a paper. 

It is a print result.

Aren't there any good solutions?

I have just purchased an Epson R2880 and noticed the same problem of banding at the head and bottom of the printed page. It is not really banding, but it seems like the full density is not printing at the beginning of the page (close to the edge) and is decreasing again at the very end of the page (more or less 1 inch not printing with the rigth density - top and bottom).

I also have an Epson 3800 and this issue never occured, even at 1/8 inch from the edge.

On many Epson printers both of the feed rollers need to be engaged for best
printing.  The distance between the first feed roller and the exit roller
will give you the amount of top and bottom margins you need for top quality.

Hi Sidney and Paul

I thinks the bug of software. 
Because Epson driver can be printed with No border.

This problem has arisen only in a new printer. 
(R3000 too)

I think you'll find QTR and the Epson driver lay down the ink in a
different fashion at the ends of the image.  The Epson approach hides the
paper transport inaccuracies better on at least several printers I've had.
 The top & bottom microbanding happens when only one paper transport roller
is engaged.  So, I often use wider margins top and bottom to avoid the
issue.  I might add that, outside of image edges that are too close to the
top and bottom of the paper, QTR produces smoother prints than the Epson
driver in a number of printer-inkset combinations I use that are compatible
with both approaches.
