Susan, Is the banded pulse plating product plated on conveyorized equipment? in certain types of equipment the panels interfaces with a series of anode as it travels thru the machine during its plating cycle. If this is the case then the banding is a normal function of this type of equpment and not a result of the pulse rectification.
