Jerry,

First, I want to compliment you on your images (www.jnevins.com).  They are striking and ironically seem the perfect images for Piezo printing.  Have you had any printed with Piezo? A comparison between your process and Piezo is worth observing.  Perhaps we can arrange to have that done with one image printed both ways.

Now, as to your observation of microbanding on a Cone sample:  Wow! You got me there!  For once I am speechless.  Perhaps 'microbanding' is the current state-of-the-art if the Cone samples you received contain it.  Wonder what Jon and Bill have to say about that.  

Was the banding clearly observable with the naked eye?  And did it distract you from seeing the image?

If the samples are part of a consistently printed set of images, others out there will have received images with the same issue.  I'd really like to hear from others who have seen the same phenomenon on their sample prints.

Great work, Jerry!
