Very similar in appearance.
.....methinks (perhaps) maybe a millimetre of white (ie - no ink) at the end of the print would help in this situation. I do find that the Hahnemule 308gm takes some handling on (my) 1160 printer. The Black does slosh from time to time, and attention to feeder angle (and) grip on the support sheet makes for crucial on a 44inch run. OK, the 1160 is an A3+b printer - right? That's A3 plus bleed.....and I reckon the carriage is optimised for laying down ink A3 height/width. Also, I find that the 308gm does benefit from being 13inch in width - meaning a half inch white border top and bottom. If its say - A4 width, (with it being held off-centre by the carraige) then on occasion, Black ink will more likely than not slosh onto this very expensive paper. Vexing, because the effect is intermittent. I prefer the 308gm for big panos, and keep the A3 on bleed work to the Epson Archival Matte - cheap for what it is and fab for proofs. Anyway, been running an 1160 for two years now, and soon will be going taking it apart to see what is worn and torn, and where all the gunk goes. I believe it possible to do most of the maintainance and keep it running for a very long time. Be interesting to see what is worn and torn. I digress.
