I've got an 855 and it prints poster quality (256, 64k colors) quite well 
but I wouldn't waste my time on either trying to totally eliminate 
banding from a moving head printer or printing 16 million colors.

i.e. if you're picky enough to use 16 million, you wont be happy with the 
barely perceptible banding.
