Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mark;

You have a very weird one here, which I have zero idea how to cure; 
IMO howver, it is not an alignment problem, I would not waste my 
time and possibly mess up the head alignment by doing the skew, I 
can't see how that would help. Are you printing a 16-bit image, or 
eight? I once had an image that developed a string of randomly 
spaced perfectly circular holes in it (between the upper and lower 
layers if I printed from 16-bit. It went away if I converted to 8-
bit.
