Please excuse me if this has been covered before but the whole issue of
alignment is a pain. In my experience with 2200s, 1270s, and 7500s the
alignment process was ambiguous at best. On the 7500, especially, the
alignment pattern was difficult to decipher and the changes seemed to have
little effect. Am I alone on this? Enough time spent behind a lupe looking
at alignment patterns will give anyone a headache. I'm surprised Epson or
someone else (Maybe 3rd party?) hasn't developed a better, more reliable
alignment procedure. YMMV.
