Digital BW, The Print

Hello Steve,

The 5.0 version is not out. I was using 4.4. Maybe if I'd try an older
version like 4.3

I would not try to play with the Epson adjustment program. I'd rather
have a tech replace the head or buy a new R1800 than try and mess with
this. :) Maybe if my R1800 would die on me after a long time, I'd get
a new printer and try to resurrect the R1800 myself.

Thanks

Denis
