Hi PDML Well, I just nearly fell off my chair.
I have an Epson P50 printer, a few years old and been around the block now, but it still works and the separate ink tanks I like, but generally I don't print photos from it - it's just the House Printer. The Mrs announced she wanted some prints doing of photos she had taken so i though okay, i better make sure it's gonna work. Test prints in CS6 resulted in horizontal banding. As I recall, I had the same issue way back and tried troubleshooting it at the time and gave up when offered a beer. I may have thrown the empty bottle at the printer. Anyway, a nice A4 shot with plenty of textures and patterns came out shit with loads of horizontal banding. Okay, nozzle check, one or two gaps here and there, cleaning cycles, nozzles clear. Still banding. Next, head alignment, and another test print. Still banding. Tried adjusting all sorts of settings in Photoshop CS6 to no avail. Very slight colour overlapping resulting in discreet but noticeable banding. Then I had a thought. I exported the image as a best quality largest size jpeg onto my desktop and opened it in Preview (a Mac general purpose photo viewer/editor, comes with the OS). I printed from that and NO BANDING. Anyone care to hazard a guess where I'm clearly being defeated by CS6 ? Thanks for all advice. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
