An accurate system (501) for the magnetic alignment of an imaging subsystem (468) of an image processing apparatus (10) includes:1) a master alignment fixture (534) including: a) two like, magnet-attracting translation-bearing rods (206, 208); b) a drum axis tool (526) or drum (300); c) a device (535) for supporting the translation-bearing rods (206, 208) in a parallel, planar relationship; d) a device (540) for supporting the drum axis tool (526) or drum (300) parallel to the translation-bearing rods (206, 208); and e) a device (546) for measuring and aligning the translation-bearing rods (206, 208) in relation to the parallel drum axis tool (526) or drum (300); and2) a removable set apparatus (502) attachable to the master alignment fixture (534), including: a) a tube (506) or rod; b) aligned, downwardly extending first set arms (510) with magnets (518) attached, the magnets being detachably attachable to the translation-bearing rod; and c) at least two second, extended arms (511) that are detachably attachable to the drum axis tool (526) or drum (300). A process for magnetically aligning an imaging subsystem is also included herein.
