Re: venetian blinds, Epson 1280

Hi Mark... They look more like what you described as microbanding.  I
have to look very closely to see them.  The good news is that my
gravures have gotten good enough now that I can see any flaws in the
negative.  The bad news is that my gravures have gotten good enough
now that I can see any flaws in the negative.

so is there a fix for micribanding?
