That stand had been fine for the smaller Epson printer that I had been using. I took the printer off the stand, put it on the floor.and the large format print came out with exactly the kind of quality I had been hoping for.īelieve me, I felt all sorts of foolish. Thankfully, I noticed that the stand that I had the printer sitting on was shaking during printing. Did my first high quality page and was very disappointed to see extremely obvious banding on a 13x19 page. I did the nozzle test and print head alignment, test pages came out fine. If so, please do mark my reply as "helpful" and if you're OK now, please mark it as " correct" below, so others who have similar issues can see the solutionįor anyone who is just setting up this printer and seeing the banding issue, and none of the technical/troubleshooting fixes are working: is your printer moving? Is it too heavy for the stand you're using? That was my issue. Paper manufacturers sometimes provide both, sometimes just the icc profile, which is pretty useless as the media option has a big influence on print appearance. If it's not Canon paper you'll need an accurate icc profile for your exact printer and paper - AND information about the correct media option to use with that profile. Just make sure that the actual paper you have in the printer is selected under media in the printer's software settings. IF you're using Canon paper, then generally setting Photoshop to "printer manages colours" IS easier. It's OK to call it banding but it can get a bit confusing when too many differing symptoms get the same name!ĭFosse is right about the colour management settings, you do need to get that right too. If that's it then the term "contouring" or "posterisation" describes the symptom better.īahaar Khan has some good tips for you above if it's "contouring" or "posterisation" you are seeing in your gradients. ![]() Perhaps you have faults in gradations where there should be smooth tones, but now there are steps (like contour lines on a map). Printers sometimes have a setting to adjust the head gap "platen gap", if not you'd need thinner paper to avoid head strikes. Those unwanted straight lines across a print can be caused by a partial head blockage (nozzle blockage) or, sometimes head strike - when the head is incorrectly spaced from the paper which, in some cases, means it touches the print leaving "skid marks"). Personally, I recommend using the term "banding" for only that symptom. Look at my website, there is an Adobe RGB testimage there under downloads which is free to use.Ĭan I ask though - by "banding"n do you mean straight lines across the print - parallel with the print head movement? That's normally a hardware fault. maybe test with a test image to get started, that rules out issues you may have created in your own images. Over editing colour and tome can lead to insufficient data to define smooth gradations properly. ![]() #3 take it easy with photoshop edits if working on 8 bit files. #1 do your testing on a canon paper listed in the printer software under "media type"
