I've been having the same banding issue lately, though on my SP-300V the black was banding much worse than the other colors. On a whim, I changed the enhanced CMYK colors on my test squares to RGB and most of the banding went away and the black…

You know the answer - did not think I had to reserve or that my brother would have done it for me since he knew how busy I was serving the community.  I will rectify the situation, next slide.

I have to agree with Butch about it being a profile/settig issue.   My black test print looks similar to yours and it is deflecting as Irv said, but it looks perfectly fine with certain marterials/profiles and looks horrible when I get the…
