Does it print bands when you do a nozzle test? That'll tell you if the nozzles are clogged. Next step is print head alignment. If that's ok, I'd say you either have a driver issue or an issue with the printer itself, and it's time to call up Epson and complain. I saw a test print kicking around n

Try it with the settings for regular "Photo Quality" and Unidirectional Printing (I think that setting is done by turning off fast printing). If that does not eliminate the banding then you probably have to send it in for warranty service. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <

Have you run the calibration/alignment procedure? (I'm assuming the R2400 is similar to the older 2100/2200 model). The only other thing I can suggest has already been mentioned (nozzle check). - Dave On Nov 20, 2005, at 5:03 AM, Pål Jensen wrote: I seem to be unable to get decent prints
