The calibration tool adjusts the printer. There is no known way to do alignment
by software when printing graphics. The way the calibration tool works is
unkown to me and not described in the confidential developer info I got from
Epson. So I'm a bit angry and once I'm back from vacation I will have a look at
their tool and reenginer (wich is allowed in Europe). So far, in some cases
adjusting the printer may help and you can actually do this on a PC and than
get back to the Amiga with the printer. no problem. You can also use the PC
Emulator PC Task on the Amiga and run the tool on the Amiga without getting a
PC. However, in most cases you shouldn't expect any improvement as Epson
already did the job. So, it mainly is up to your printer. There are also
problems reported with print head kludged on the Epson. So if stripes appear,
clean the head twice (my pritner always required 2 cleanings after printing 7
pages -grmbl…)
Download tool? Sorry, but there are no plans doing such a tool yet. I know how
to do such a tool and so far did such tools for the Canon BJ and CaPSL
printers. The job took 6-8 months and so far, these two Canon drivers are the
only drivers on the Amiga doing such a job right… But there is simply no time
for such a job available yet as other jobs are more important.
