Re:speaking of humidity/ink spots

2010-05-27 by Lutsky, Berel

Inkspots on the edges are usually indications of "headstrikes " - the print head is actually contacting  the paper - humidity will often cause a bit of swelling of the edges and or curvature of the paper - two solutions - work in a humidity controlled environment - expensive, keep your paper in a humidity controlled environment - a little easier -  - OR try making prints with wider margins - this will keep the printhead over the paper most of the time - in the long run headstrikes are not good for the equipment - and are to be avoided - if you can adjust your platen gap do so -
