Lincoln wide spectrum on 1200

[Jack Arnold <jarnold@dashe.com>]

I've been working with the Lincoln Wide Spectrum 6 color inkset on Ilford
glossy paper and am very pleased with the gamut and the nice finish of the
paper. Trouble is, I cannot get rid of the microbanding, especially in the
midtones, most notably blue sky!  I also see some granularity in some
colors, especially the greens. (By granularity, i mean a sort of
"micro-mottling" of a pure color. Makes it hellish to get a decent profile)

Part of the problem is the paper, because I even get some, though not as
much, microbanding with the Epson ink.  I have tried the backlight film,
plain paper, and photopaper settings, all at 1440 dpi.  The backlight film
gives the best results, but not good enough.

If anyone is having good results with this ink/paper/printer combo, I'd like
to hear about how you have accomplished them, because I really like the ink
and paper, and hopefully, the purported longevity of the prints.
