    I have an Epson L1800, fitted to a Chinese flatbed; printing ecosolvent ink onto plastic items. Normally very well! However, when I go to align the printheads the alignment immediately goes WAY out of alignment and cannot be restored. Have printed hundreds of alignment pages. Cannot get good...
