A couple of months ago I had Ferrari print a file and there was too much microbanding for my tastes - more than the worst I'd gotten from Palmer. Whenever it happened at Palmer they'd tweak the LightJet & reprint, and the reprint was perfect, but Ferrari tells me there's nothing they can do about it. Calypso also tells me that some is inevitable with the LightJet. I learned yesterday that Palmer's secret was a technician who's a whiz at getting the most out of digital imaging hardware and software. He now works at Lux Editions in El Dorado Hills. Lux Editions does not have a LightJet but they have an Iris printer and an Epson 9000 with MIS inks. I gotta check this place out.
