Guys, i was so desperate to get my backlog of orders out of the way i purchased a brand new Ricoh SG7100DN Printer which arrived today. I've just moved the same Sawgrass ink cartridges from my old SG7100DN (Yellow, Cyan and Magenta from Xpres) into the new printer aswell as a brand new black ink cartridge that i purchased from Xpres on Sunday evening. To my absolute astonishment...i'm getting banding again. This time it's on most colours and although it seems to be a different type of banding (no white lines between, only slightly darker one, its still there. Sawgrass thinks its a dogdy batch of ink which they are investigating for me now. I can't seem to catch a break this year. I've performed a nozzle check, paper feed test and head alignment, all of which are perfect. This is brand new printer straight out of the box. It's got to be the inks right? The black is perfect and i haven't seen any banding yet
