RE: Archival Matte Problem - Update

[Kharim Hogan <Kharim_Hogan@videotron.ca>]

Hi Jim,

I just finished a big battle with my 1270 and these "thin white lines" across
my images.  I was getting this microbanding regardless of the paper I used.
I finally resolved it by running the print head alignment utility multiple times
in a row.  I just kept realigning the heads until I got a very good alignment
sheet printed and absolutely perfect nozzle checks.  At last, the banding is
gone.  The type of thin white lines I was getting very very very thin and running
horizontally across the page (i.e. in the direction of the print heads when they
print).  The white lines were evenly spaced, running across the entire print
and were more prominent in the black and dark areas in case any of this helps.
