Have you tried adding about 5% noise to the blend?

Should help..

Just let me know if it reduces the problem.

If it's a laser printer it could be the cogs driving the film?
Does it happen on plain paper?
Can you change the 45 to 22?

By tompainesbones on Feb 18, 2011 - 3:38 AM EST

it could be:
You are printing at 45 or 90 degrees?
You are printing too high a halftone for that printer?
Your printer is banding?
Any thoughts?

I'll try the 5 , thanks. I can't see it on paper but I can't see it on velum until I burn it and it's in the screen
