I align all mine once a month, and unless I'm running tons of media
through it mine always look close also.

I have come to the conclusion that all this cottony media that we love
is something these Epson heads just hate. I don't run into that with
the gloss fiber papers. Lately I've been really brushing my Hahnemuhle
paper by laying the roll out on a table and going over it about three
times weith a big brush. That helps but if you have a big batch of
fairly large prints to do you have to do a nozzle check after each 80"
or so to be safe. About half the time I  have to do a head cleaning
and that is a nusance to put it mildly.
