I don't think so.  The pattern is regular, and depends on where on the
image it is, and doesn't correspond to my own accuracy tests I did
last week or so.  It also varies from edge to edge, which is
consistent with the weave algorithm.

It also only happens in the paper feed direction (edges perpendicular
to paper motion direction).  The edges in the print head direction are
mostly OK, aside from minor variations due to jet imprecision.
