Horizontal Banding

When you look at the image you have printed there are light or dark lines on the image, these are particularly highlighted in high density ink areas. This problem is known as banding.

IMPORTANT

 

 

Banding can occur to a certain degree in Fast and Normal mode when printing high

 

 

 

density prints. To obtain the best image always print in Best Mode.

The following is an example of what you might see if you have problems with banding.
