Digital BW, The Print

Eric makes a great suggestion. Below is a link to info on making the advanced alignment 
check and how to interpret it. Down at the bottom of the page it goes line by line on the 
alignment print-out to let you know what you're looking at, in case you need this (maybe 
you don't, and if so I apologize for underestimating your knowledge). Row 3 is particularly 
important as it shows deflected nozzles that don't show up on regular nozzle checks.

Give it a look, if you need the help.
