Hi Mike, that sounds weird, but maybe the problem is another.
I never experienced any banding, or other artifacts, whenever I shot greycards, or other even grey subjects, on 1600 ISO B&W film, underexposed by several stops. Same when pushing HP5+ to 1600 ISO. Thorough development leads to a very pleasing texture with minimal grain. Well printed, you can at least be sure that a minimal amount of silver is washed out by the fix. Prints show an astonishing intensity. Of course, I take my real pictures on 100 to 400 film. Maybe digital sucks?
