Yes, there are a lot of (24bit) images that show banding. Especially 
gray scale images are problematic: 256 shades of gray are simply not 
enough in many cases. This is a case when traditional B&W print still 
excels - especially when using medium or large format cameras. Color 
gradations simply look better. I don't think there are many printers (or 
video cards) that accept 48bit data - does anyone know?
