Greetings,
I am glad to see that there is some activity in this
mailing list again. I was wondering if any membars could
shed some light on a printing problem that I have.
About 16 months ago I purchased a another printer to
replace, to some extent, the previous Canon 7100 which was
on its last legs. Since I intended to get "serious"
photographs printed comercially, I chose a fairly modest 3
colour printer, the Canon 560i. This was OK for text and seemed
to be for graphics. When I started to use it for photos,
however, I started to get serious "banding" in areas where
there was an even tone. This is much worse when printing
monochrome using the Grey Scale settings. Up till now I have
been of the opinion that this was due to a fault in the print
head but I am now beginning to think that it might be related to
the software driver. This is besause:-
a) The banding is not continued into the "busy" part of the
image.
b) There is a repeated pattern in this banded area.
c) I tried cutting out the computer by printing directly
from a camera via the PictBridge facility. There was definitly
no banding in the resultant image.
This banding occurs when the printer is connected via USB fron
both a RISC PC (Castle USB Podule) and an Iyonox.
Has anyone had similar experience?
Have I set something up wrongly?
Regards,
Alan.
