Louis:

I would agree - your print is very good for being a single black ink monotone. I'm impressed with the good gradient you got in the 'dot' at the top of the image. Yours is very even and that is difficult to do. As for the microbanding, I suspect you can't even see it in the print unless you really pixel peep. You may find that doing a head alignment eliminates it. 

My take-away on this is that for people who only want to make the occasional black and white print, and don't want to invest in the cost and learning curve of the various multi-ink options, this is a good method to use. Not perfect, but surprisingly good.
