When doing an alignment check on my Canon 9000-2, it prints a column for each of the eight colors. For each color, there are 11 choices, from -3 to +7. The directions indicate to "pick the best" for each color.
[Edit] The actual message that shows up from the 9000-2 print driver is:
My speculation is that you pick the value for each color that has the most distinct vertical lines, but I wanted to check with the forum experts.
Also, would it be best to use glossy photo paper for this alignment rather than plain paper, for more sharpness to pick from?

I'm unclear what criteria to use for "least noticeable streaks". Some of the rectangles are pretty much solid, while others have distinct vertical lines (about 30 or so). Others have some of the vertical lines being somewhat wavy.Execute print head alignment. Examine the printed patterns, and enter the
pattern number of the pattern with the least noticeable streaks in the fields
for columns A to H.
