Re: [Digital BW] Flattening prints from a roll

2002-05-03 by William Cobb

Where can us 'civilians' find EAM in rolls to fit the 3000?

The Epson site only lists widths for the 7000/9000/10000 series printers ... :-(

  Mitch,

  I use roll EAM with the 3000.  I've fed it in with no flattening at all.  At
  least when the curl is in the same direction as the roller, it works.
  Lately I've been feeding the paper in "side ways" -- that is, I just slice
  off 17 inches of paper.  (I've been told this is not recommended, but it
  works for me.)  When I do this, I've flattened the paper by spraying the
  back with a little water to dampen it and then holding the paper flat while
  it dries.  If you have a dry-mount press.  Try sandwiching the paper between
  some dampened blotter papers and pressing it -- the steam iron approach.

  At any rate, the roll paper and the 3000 make a very workable combination.

    Currently printing with Piezography on an Epson 1160, I am considering
  getting an Epson 3000 to be able to make 16x24 inch prints. As this size has
  to be printed from a roll, I wonder whether one encounters any difficulties
  in flatttening prints made made from a roll.
