I seen this with various desktop Epsons...usually when profiled through the
RGB driver with the "No Color Adjustment" setting chosen as opposed to
profiling some other combo of locked in driver settings. After using a
profile I was fairly happy with for several weeks (1270/Generations 4
ink/Epson Archival Matte paper/CompassProfile), I suddenly hit a few prints
that showed this sort of banding. Transition areas in dark skin tones would
show some posterization. When profiling through the "No Color Adjustment"
setting, you can often better utilize the maximum possible gamut of the
printer, but the resulting profile is sometimes doing such a severe
transform that banding can show in certain cases. As a test, try printing
your data through the "no color adjustment" setting without first converting
to your printer profile. If the resulting print is WAY off, then its up to
your profile to correct that on the 8bit data that its being fed. That's
almost certain to produce problem areas somewhere. As a fix, try profiling
through some combo of locked in driver settings that produces a better
print.
