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

2015-09-26 by paulmwhiting@...

Good news... just ran a print with not only a 1/2" margin, but 1/4" - with no banding. I don't prefer that width, I just mistakenly entered 0.25". I prefer 0.50".

Sometimes you'll see the advice here, "just let your printer sit overnight". Seems to work for a variety of problems. Worked for me this time! Actually it was a couple of nights.

I didn't check my nozzle checks as closely as Brian's link suggests, that may have been my problem. The link suggests banding can be the result of all this. And if it was air in the cartridge, that can dissipate by itself after a day or two. Next time I'll use that tip from IJM.

Thanks, Brian!

Paul
