can anyone tell me what is anti-banding in camera?

Instead of costing $50 piece like before, it isn't hard to spend $300-
$400 on an ink jet.  So why are we still being RAPED on ink cost by
the mfgs?  Do you know that the cost of ink in some cases is as much
as gold? By weight that is.  It takes about 10 tons of rock blasted,

For those of us that have been around here for a while this article does
not break any new ground. But possibly the site has readers that are less
