Digital BW, The Print

In my experiece its either in the file itself (most of the time) or
the linearization of the machine in relation to the media. Now
printing on film can create banding, and I've exprienced it with ohp
film, but the problem isn't the film, its the way the ink is being
laid down, just like he suggested, the ink limits or the gradation
curve. By the way there is nothing wrong with the Silver Rag, its cool.
