I'm the tech tbaker (Hey Trent!) mentioned as having the Celestron digital microscope. It works very well for me, especially as I use a netbook in the field. It makes doing the fine alignment on the Mimaki very easy. One of the useful features for me is its ability to take pictures and videos...

The head rank setting is determined by the print head manufacturer. It is a fine tuning of the voltage setting to account for variations in the characteristics of the print head nozzles in each head. When you enter the head rank numbers in your printer, you are telling the printer what the...

Your problem is most likely bi-directional misalignment. If you want to easily confirm this, run a print in bi-directional and again in uni-directional modes. There is a bi-directional calibration you can run in the user menu. Look in your user manual under "Making corrections for printing"...
