Thanks for the confirmation that your 9900 can print this colour without banding.
I should have mentioned that this printer has been expertly set up by GMG staffers and Epson engineers. It's the most tested unit in the UK at the moment.
Epson have given terrific support. The head has been swapped, the unit stripped down, motors checked, alignments done and re-done.
GMG have given terrific support too, software checks, databases rebuilt, paper lengths checked against a german-made and certified metre rule etc etc.
It works flawlessly in 10 colour mode but is incapable of printing 100c 80y in 8 colour mode without outputting an unacceptable, banded and patchy piece of junk!
I can only conclude that it's a bad device and needs replacing with a new unit.
