What media and settings are you using?
Many thanks for your reply...there are no error codes, my inks are all above 50%
The prints were made on Canson Photo Rag 310gsm. I print through the Canon Print Plug-in and the settings were: Accuracy - 300dpi; Print Mode - Standard; High Graduation - 8-bit. (The first print was perfect, the second one - a different file - had the banding.)
I then reprinted the exact same file at; Accuracy - 600dpi; Print Mode - Highest; High Graduation - 16-bit and there was a marked improvement...if you looked really hard there were very slight signs of similar banding. Bear in mind that I use the first settings most of the time without any problems....
To be safe from now on, I will simply use the "best" settings....
I use a cheap matte paper to make prints for my wife and the banding is pretty-much standard every time I use it, so I put it down to the quality of the paper...?
