I have posted this question on the Wide format forum but I thought 
I'd try here as well. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. 

I have just set up a 7500 with MIS UltraTone Inks. I am trying to run 
a head alignment check with cut sheets which are 17X22. The paper I'm 
using is 250GSM, 15mil,.015 Thick Goshawk paper. The instructions 
indicate roll paper for this operation. How do I go about it with cut 
sheets since this is what I'll be using for the most part. I have 
done a head alignment on a roll of epson paper I had.The #1 row is 
sharp but with all the others the numbers are faint to missing at the 
tops of the numbers and there seems to be little difference in the 
selections from 1 to 15 in each row except Row#4. The nozzle check 
seems correct. I am using the 7500 Epson Driver. should I be using 
the 7000 Epson Driver? Please help. any other tips in setting this 
printer up for UltraTones would be GREATLY appreciated. If you want 
to contact me off list instead of taking up space...If not, post away.

John,

the quickest answer is to take a look at the service manual for a more 
complete understanding of alignment. Epson doesn't endorse access to 
manuals for mere mortals, but thankfully someone has made them available:

My understanding is that you use (cheap) EAM in rolls, align per instructions, 
then create a setting in memory for your particular paper if it exceeds the limits 
of auto-detectable thickness. 

But it's been a year since I played with alignment on my 7000, so you are best 
to read the manual.
