Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

That is what I am getting except I wasn't smart enough to read 
closely and put the same sheet of paper back in. Really should just 
use the back to the black alignment test.

My concern is that with the quad inks the alignment may be useless. 
When I ran it with the color inks in place both column of squares 
were perfect at position #5. With the MIS inks in the top square was 
the most grainy and the bottom best. Not knowing what I was seeing I 
left the alignment alone and things appear to be printing fine.
