Although bi-directional printing is decidedly quicker, the disadvantage is that ink is applied in two directions. This situation can cause a slight, but noticeable, banding effect. We recommend that you use unidirectional printing to output high-quality proofs and bi-directional printing for form proofs and test prints.
