The solution was : head replacement ! This machine was a NIGHTMARE to own : 5 heads in 5 years. Those last weeks, it starts to leak very very badly (it actually screwed the floor very very badly) So i gave up, and bought a Fuji DX100.

Hey Folks, We're running a fine art printing business in Casablanca, Morocco. We're running an epson P8000 as a primary printer for almost 5 years now, and it used to work like a charm. Few days ago we replaced the LLK cartridge as it get empty by a guenine epson one. Few prints later, it starts...

is there any chance that paper feeder/roller/advance is responsible for that type of banding ?!

you can't unfortunatelly disable the bi-d on the surelab i guess the 'Standard mode' is a single pass and the 'Best quality' is the bi-d mode The strangest thing is this banding only appears on plain/solide area/color (meaning fully inked) where cyan and magenta are envolved :he:he

Also, here's the Bi-D print pattern (very weird actually) : and the crop for -2/2 range :

Hi, Thanks for the feedback here's a nozzle check scan :
