Digital BW, The Print

Mark and Paul:

 

Would larger print margins help?

My solutions:  matte paper or dyes on glossy paper.

 

Also, holding the fluids to a minimum seems to help.  Beware of gloss optimizer.

 

I'm sure different papers are affected differently, but I have not made or seen a good list of the best/worst in this respect.

 

It's really too bad about the artifacts of pigments on glossy paper.  I'm probably going to take another shot at a glossy carbon print B&W approach soon -- not looking forward to this part of the problem.

I'm getting pizza wheel marks on my new (to me) Epson 4800, with sheets of glossy paper. I had assumed that this printer’s vacuum transport mechanism meant no more of those ‘star wheel’ tracks.

 

I've tried auto and manual sheet feed. 

No difference. 

 

Under Paper Config > Ejection Roller Type,  I've tried Auto, Sheet and Roll. 

No difference.

 

Anyone have a solution for this?

 

Thanks,
