Digital BW, The Print

Hi

Thanks for the hints! Surely you're right about the paper curl. I can see that if my box of paper is half full, it tends to curl a bit; when I print, at the end, I hear a small click so the head must contact the edge.

From now on, I'll add a sheet or two of aluminum stock in the box so the paper is kept flat.

Thanks again

Jacques

Jon suggested being certain that the paper was flat before feeding. Hence if there are any doubts I gently straighten the paper by drawing the paper edge over the end of a table .  The ink spots on the edge of the paper are no longer an issue.
