A question regarding a banding problem I sometimes get on negatives printed with the 1430.
I’m currently using the a CISS - and every once in a while I get a band of ink laid down on the negative that has an effect on the opacity (it shows up in the final print). Usually it can end up appearing on both ends of the negative - almost as if its taking the printer a quarter of an inch or so to decide how much ink to lay down (and then sometimes doing the same at the tail end).
Here’s a photo with arrows indicating where the band is:

(The red in the photo is litho tape I put around the negative for carbon printing).
Is this band the result of me disabling the pin-wheels on the printer?
Or is this a CISS cart issue that will change once I start using the new 1430 cartridges?
