Jon,

I have to run the head cleaning often also to avoid banding. Not as much as you, but probably after every fourth or fifth negative, and always after the printer has not been used for more than a week.

Hi Damiano,

On my Epson 2200 I run a head cleaning before every single digital neg I print, and found I needed to if I wanted consistent quality. Seems excessive, but if I skip this step I get intermittent banding as well. I found I do not have to do a head cleaning before every print on my 7800 (thank god).

Best wishes,
Jon
