Banding / venetian blinds efffect is a different issue and can affect any
printer to my knowing. I can't comment about 3800/3880, since I haven't used
them and/or I didn't saw any print that was made with negatives printed from
them... OTOH, to my knowing no inkjet printer will be able to push the
resolution limit of any high definition alt process. As I said before, I
feel OK with what I already get from my HP 9180B. (Although it gives more
grainy results when compared to my old Epson 1290.)

Loris,

Is it your view then that a printer such as the Epson 3880 provides
sufficient resolution for digital negatives, including higher definition
processes, e.g. cyanotype or carbon transfer?

My previous experiments have been with the Epson 2100/2200, a printer that
shows significant banding, especially in areas of more uniform tonality. - I
checked with Sandy King and he had experienced this issue with the Epson
2200 as well.
