Yes we all seemed to have a different take on the problem.  Mine was 
from looking at certain characters that printed well at the top and much 
lighter or not at all at the bottom.  A new ribbon could help that, but 
I went my way because most other letters were a lot closer to even if 
not close to perfect.  Now I don't have a way to prove my theory unless 
it can be observed by comparison to adjacent letters in the idle position.
