Digital BW, The Print

Hello Chatzebussi,

> my 2200 I was able to reduce it [i.e. (micro)banding] by doing an
>alignment with a setting of 1"

The head alignment utility prints out a series of overlapped lines and
asks you to enter the number of the best matched pair.  It then
adjusts something which is supposed to optimize the head alignment.  I
did an experiment one day by choosing each number then making a print.
 I found that as the numbers got smaller there was continually less
dither banding.

BTW, I use the term "dither banding" rather than "micro banding"
because the latter seems to cover both kinds of banding.  The other
kind is that caused by a clogged nozzle.  Dither banding explicitely
means the kind _not_ caused by a clogged nozzle.

Regards,
Clayton
