Re: Banding at start and end of the print - Epson 1430 + Eboni inks
2015-09-23 by paulmwhiting@...
Particularly helpful was that these non-Pro printers (such as the 1400, 1430) do not have in their firmware a way of handling the beginning and end of a print. The Epson driver makes up for that somehow but not QTR. Am I understanding this correctly? (Roy, would it be possible to tweak your excellent program and add that feature? Probably a lot easier said than done!). And should I print at 1440 dpi or 2880?
Perhaps you can help with a couple of other issues I raised:
Paul pointed out that since our printers did not have that trouble when new indicates a need for roller cleaning. He said "both rollers". I only see one, down on the lower right, it's thick and has a notch in it to allow the paper free to pass once the paper is grabbed. But on closer examination, I see another roller beneath the big one. Is this what is meant by "both rollers"? And how do you get at that one to clean it? I know how to clean the big one.
And what is meant by "transport rollers"? Are these I just mentioned the transport rollers?
Finally, my blacks are not as rich as before. I am due to a new mix of C6, maybe my DMax will improve then.
Thanks again,
Paul
