Re: Print quality is poor when printing flat colours

Hi, I hope you can help. I wondered what settings you use to print to get a perfect print quality on flat colours?
I keep getting this (or banding) - never had the problem before upgrading my OS on my Mac and downloading the new driver.

Hello,

Could you please let us know what printer you are using? Would be easier to help if that information was available.

First question, have you spoken to Sawgrass? You're paying a premium for those inks part of which is because of the backup you get. Who was your supplier?

Do you have a PC, laptop etc. you could connect to try and print from? From what you've said it sounds like downloading that latest driver has messed something up. Worth double checking everything in your software etc.

Superb advice from [MENTION=1]Justin[/MENTION]

Would it be possible to try using another computer/laptop to see if there will be any differences? If it works without any problems from another device, then we're 100% sure it's related to the driver install and upgrade.

Hope things get sorted out for you.
