This seems to be a continual problem whenever I print on dvds on every old epson printer I own whether it be a r200 or r300. Nozzle checks don't show any clogs although I have had to use a syringe and distilled water to clear them in order for them to print properly in the first place. However banding is always a problem. Obviously the printhead is still clogged even if minutely, but I don't know what else to do.
