Also check to see that in resizing a file you haven't wound up with a
resolution
with some decimal places.  All my microbanding problems have been file-related-

a bad scan; or choosing the wrong printer profile or "same as source" instead
of
"printer color management"; or, most recently, when I found that the resolution

had somehow gotten to 359.342 or something.  Changing it to 360 and letting the

dimensions shift to wherever fixed the problem.
