Digital BW, The Print

Matt
The alignment is for bi directional has nothing to-do with banding. How are
you cleaning the head? Use the driver utility and do head cleaning. you have
to look at the cap assembly. It is located on the right side of the printer
where the print head sits and cleans. make sure the sponge pad and rubber
gasket are clean you can apply warm water with a syringe on and around the
sponge pad and gasket make sure there is no paper dust ink hair in that
area.if this area is clean and you still have problems the next step is to
clean the print head with special cleaner I use two chemicals first chemical
flushes out the ink the next sits in the nozzles for a day or more this is
done using a syringe and gently forcing these chemical through each nozzle
on the head if the chemicals do not solve the problem I replace the print
head

Joseph--

thanks...if it's the printhead, what would you suggest to adjust it? 
isn't that what the aligment utility is supposed to do?
