Banding Differences
Consistent horizontal banding is usually hardware related. Normally,
horizontal microbanding is caused by improper color deadband or color
calibrations, dirty cartridges or service station. Inconsistent banding is
usually software related. However, electrostatic discharge (ESD) from
media (i.e. Backlit/Duratrans films) can also cause inconsistent horizon-
tal banding. While minimal microbanding in an image typically occurs
due to cartridge jet failures and clogs, dirty service station or an im-
proper calibration of the printer, gross microbanding can be caused by a
dirty encoder strip causing image skew or real hardware failures such
as a defective stepper motor.
Vertical banding is always hardware related.

Ensure that the cartridges are properly installed particularly for 1x8
print modes.
