wavy patterns in prints when using 2400 and Hahnemuhle FAP

[markfields]

when I print on my 2400 and using hahnemuhle FAP, I get a wavy pattern in the paper, which you see

especially when you turn the paper against the light at an angle. its not in the images: its in the paper and

you can see it in repeated paterns up and down the paper...its most noticable in dark prints because of

how the light reveals the patterns. i think its some kind of interaction with the paper 'tension" and how

the ink is being absorbed.. any one else notice this? Please look at your FAP prints at an angle, especially

dark prints.. please let me know.

I used 10% reduced ink when I printed them.

 

many thanks

Hi Mark,

 

I have the same problems on a 9600.

I had Epson technicians a few times here without success.

The problem disappears, if you turn your paper by 90 degrees.

I am using photo black, which might be part of the problem.

If I find out more, I let you know.
