Roland R. Irish III replied to Connor's discussion SP300 Ink Help! Please Look Guys!!!"If you could print the TEST pattern-button right on the console-then send us a clear picture of that, it may

The last part is not a chop buster but to evaluate whether your banding is horizontal or vertical. Those causes are different. Once…"
