Information:
Epson 600 printer evidently has a problem with the Intel OverDrive processor.
I had pulled out all of my added cards, pulled and swapped the memory and
replaced the video card and drivers...
( they have had problems with " some video drivers conflicting with the
printers")
All this and I still had a problem with the high resolution mode 1400 and 700 w/
fine detail on.
When I replaced the 83 Mhz Intel OverDrive Processor with my original NEC 486
66 es chip.
All was well, slower but well.
EPSON has NO plan to fix this problem.
SO your options are:
1.) To return the printer and try an HP
2.) Never use the higher resolutions in which case you can use a less expensive
printer
3.) Keep the printer and throw away a $350 processor.
4.) Call EPSON and report the problem add your voice asking for a patch.

The bottom text could also be colorful static
not "banding/streeking/shearing" but printed static
I spent hours with EPSON on the phone and used
half of the ink up over two months just trouble shooting!
The solution was to throw out my OverDrive processor
and they have no plan for patch.
Thank's
