Re: Banding on Pictorico with Epson 2200

[Ender100@aol.com]

You are unlikely to see it (Venetian Blinds) in a regular inkjet print because it is so subtle and occurs in the shadows of the inkjet print...however, it's those shadows of the inkjet negative that make the highlights of a PT/PD print and there they rig their ugly head. Less so with the R2400 than the 2200 and non-existent on the R1800.
