Title: Gradients on Inkjet?
I’m getting banding in gradients on my Epson 9600. If you take a gradient and rotate it in any direction the banding rotates as well. The Epson is functioning properly, all nozzles are firing, the heads are aligned, and the paper feed is set correctly. I am running at 720dpi unidirectional through Oris ColorTuner. I get the same banding through Windows and OS X Tiger as well. The gradients that I am running are from 100 to 0 over 20 inches. I have created this gradient in Quark 6.5, Illustrator CS2, and Photoshop CS2 and I get banding in all three. I got the same results when I sent the files to three other companies using a 9600. I am aware of a couple of fixes such as adding noise and increasing the resolution but these are not viable options for us as we must maintain our current level of production and quality.
I have two questions.
- Is there anything else that I can do to greatly reduce or eliminate the banding with my current system?
- Is there any inkjets out there at least 40 inches wide that can print a smooth gradient at a production rate of about 20-25 28”x40” proofs a day?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
