Re: Fine Horizontal Banding

2007-02-15 by Mike Dawson

But I think that is the point of what was being said.  QTR uses a 
different method (pattern?) for laying down the ink on the paper.  If 
your paper is curled at both ends it just might be that the QTR 
pattern is leaving faint lines, whereas the Epson driver, using a 
different pattern does not show the issue.  The R9 driver (from the 
old Cone Piezography days) had the same problems on some printer 
samples.

What paper are you using?  I can't remember your original post.  Have 
you tried other paper types/thicknesses?
