Re: EPSON 1400 + MIS UT-14, Pizza Wheel marks...

> I don't have a good answer for you on how to get rid of pizza wheel marks.  Using the least amount of ink and glop in a profile no doubt helps.  I think the 1400 needs its exit rollers for good paper transport.

I did some more experimentation yesterday keeping all the double wheels seems to have no affect the paper transport at all.  So what I did was:

- Removed all the "single" wheels
- Shimmed the "bar" that holds all the pizza roller carriers using masking tape (5-6 layers)

And with the "Heavy paper and envelopes" settings to "on" in the driver, it really seem to improve the situation.

I have a bunch of prints that I did this morning on drying here now, and tomorrow I'll see if this actually works out, if not, I'll try to increase the layers of masking tape under the paper feeding bar to see how it works out. Already the non dry prints looks much better than before the shimming, almost no pizza trails at all, so I have good hope of them vanishing completely when the prints are dry.



I'll be back....
