It is visible only at viewing distances of 12" or less, but is 
nonetheless troubling. I would guess it is related to the paper 
feed, since repeated head cleaning and nozzle checks showed 
nothing amiss. Is this common? Is there a fix short of sending 
the printers in for very expensive refurbishing? Feedback would 
be much appreciated.

Hi Jacques:

Did he run the head alignment on the same paper and check it with a loupe?  
Make sure he reads the instructions carefully.  I'd run all three parts.
