Re: Banding on Pictorico with Epson 2200
Sandy, I know Mark himself has made some rather exquisite prints with the R1800. Dick Arentz also has the R1800 and it seems to be working very well for him. I had the pleasure of seeing prints from both of these guys in August. The print quality was astounding.
