Its actually a 4 colour with CMY and Black. Early colour inkjets made black
from CMY and were awful.

Are there any options on the driver for using "micro weave" or similar?
This interleaves passes of the head so there aren't obvious bands where
where each strip on ink dries.
If it doesn't try printing to file first and then sending that to the
printer. Spooling a file can be much faster than printing directly which
means less time between each pass of the head which can reduce banding.
