Digital BW, The Print

Daniel, I have a similar problem.  I'm using a 1280 with NMC CIS 
and MIS pigs.  I'm printing a lot of b&w or sepia images.  What 
I'm seeing is a pencil thin line perpendicular to the print head.  
Which means its overspraying on just one sideof the print ever 
so slightly.  You need to hold the print an inch away from your eye 
to see it.  The printer never did this with oem carts.
I haven't been able to solve the problem.  I am going to use the 
CIS with MIS bulk dyes to see if the problem clears up.
To be honest, I can get much better prints with the dyes in either 
b&w, sepia, or full color.
At this point in time, I'm going to sacrifice a little bit of "life" of the 
prin, for a much better looking print.
David

David,
Have you tried the Print Head Alignment utility in the Epson software?
