Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

One of my printers is a 1280 - when doing a BO test print I had one 
fine horizontal line across the whole print at evenly spaced intervals 
all the way down the print.

When printing a nozzle check the black printout, the 7th top horizontal 
line looks to be marginally too high compared to all the others - the 
left edge of it connects on almost the same height to the 6th 
horizontal line and leaves a very small gap on the right where it's 
supposed to almost connect with the 8th.

In other words the 7th  "step" are slightly off  - a hair too high and 
I believe this is what's causing the horizontal banding.

Anyone have an idea what causes this or what I can do about it? The 
Print head alignment doesn't seem to help with horizontal lines - or 
does it? And if so - how do I get this line to move down a smidgen?

I've done numerous cleanings, , taken the cartridge out and used a 
syringe to push cleaning solution thru the assembly like I've done 
before when I've had a stubborn clogging problem but this seems to be 
different.

Grateful for any help or suggestions - don't want to send the printer 
to Epson - every time I've sent a printer there it's been gone for two 
weeks and every time came back with the problem not fixed...
