Epson 9800 OK with epson ink banding with sub ink

[Carl Couchman]

New Epson 9800

Looks great with Epson ink. Used sub ink and has white line horizontal banding. All nozzles firing perfectly.

Tried adjusting the paper feed.

Any suggestions?

- Thickness alignment test
- Nozzle check

if you can't get it with paper feed adjustment, try a custom paper and play with the microweave settings (M/W Adjustment). If I remember correctly, this can slow the printer down quite a bit.

Have you linearized after the ink change?

I'm assuming you are using a RIP to drive the printer, if so you might also look to see if there is a media feed adjustment in the RIP software as that might address the issue. The paper feed adjustment seems like the right approach though. You might also try doing a head alignment as well.
