Hello,  I am having some banding issues on my large format printer. (HP700W latex printer)  I often print on Avery Dennison 1105 vinyl and cannot get this horizontal banding to go away.  I have only printed off this new printer a couple of months.  I just recently did a print head alignment and a cleaning.  However, I am still seeing banding in my prints.  Any suggestions or advice on things I could try?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you

There are few links about how to do it::
