I have never ever had good luck with off brand ink cartridges in any
of my Epson printers...and I've tried all sorts. The money I saved
wasn't worth the frustration of the banding and a long time ago I
went back to only using Epson inks in my printers and I've had good
luck.
Sorry for your problem...that's such a pain in the buns.

Have you tried the print head alignment function in the utilities
section? Read the manual?

Hi Gang..............
I have Arthur Entlichs manual on cleaning an Epson Printer.
Here is my question.
I am getting banding on my prints......
I am using an Epson 1280.
It's only a few months old.
I have tried different papers.
I have changed the lever for setting the paper thickness.
I have ran an number of cleaning cycles.
I still get slight banding.
All the colors look great and from a distance
it looks like a great print but when you get closer you can see
the banding.
I am using Ink Jet Grabbers Ink and so far haven't had any
problems.
Could the banding be caused by a "off" cartridge?
I use MIS EZN Inks in my other printer and it says to shake the
cartridge before installing.
Should I do that with the cartridges for the 1280?????
Thanks
Russ
