Banding

For banding concerns, we first recommend watching this video about banding - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4GqsnjeoBY

A few things to touch on:

1. Banding can be tricky to see on flat backgrounds, especially white backgrounds, unless you really zoom in to the file in photoshop and look around. Make sure you've thoroughly inspected the file for banding zoomed in to 100%.
2. Even if there isn't any banding that will appear in the print, the thumbnails on the website are a compressed version of the image so flat backgrounds often appear to have banding in the thumbnails when there is none that will be visible on the printed file.
3. Usually if you inspect the file in photoshop and don't see any banding it will print fine, even if the compressed thumbnail shows banding.

4. 

   An easy way to check for banding is to take your image into Photoshop and create a curves layer. Pull the midpoint of the curves line down towards the bottom right corner. It will darken the image and make banding very visible. Delete this layer before saving.
