RE: [Digital BW] banding despite clear nozzle check

2006-11-22 by Daniel Staver

Try various head alignment settings. The horizontal alignment is notoriously
difficult to get right. My horizontal alignment sheet shows so much banding
it's impossible to tell which of the boxes are best aligned. I remember
Clayton had good results with the lower settings (1-2) in spite of obvious
gaps on the alignment sheet.

I'm not sure if you have to go through the whole alignment process after the
horizontal alignment. The color alignment is slow and tedious to go through.

Also try both the thick and normal paper settings. Sometimes on of them will
have banding while the other is fine.
