Re: Banding at start and end of the print - Epson 1430 + Eboni inks

2015-09-22 by paulmwhiting@...

Some progress to report:

After searching the site pretty thoroughly on "1400 banding" I saw some references to head alignment. So I tried that... it went through the routine ten times, the last few times the readings were closer and closer to the number 5, so I stopped. How many times does it run that routine? I began to wonder how many routines it would call for.

Ran a print and the banding was noticeably better at the top, and not present at all at the bottom. This leads me to believe I'm on the right track. Shall I run the utility again?

It's difficult to judge sometimes which square has the least lines or none at all. Strange that misalignment would cause banding.

Any comments would be most welcome - thank you!
