As my many loyal fans (err - ahem) know, I like to experiment 
printing on all kinds of wacko materials using the flat feed feature 
of my 2200.  The only times I get pizza wheel marks on my prints is 
when the ink doesn't dry fast enough on the surface or when I neglect 
to tip the lad from Domino's with sufficient largesse.  While the 
latter is beyond the scope of this discussion, the former is usually 
addressed by selecting the correct ink (e.g. matte black -vs - photo 
black) for the paper, and by controlling the volume of ink.   Never 
use any more ink than you need to get a satisfactory black.  This 
varies tremendously with the medium.    Here's a good bad example of 
tracking:

Here is a print that's visibly wet after 8 hours:

. . . it was still wet after 24 hours, because it was printed 
directly onto Golden (brand) acrylic gesso.   What many denizens of 
the inkjet community may not realize is that inkjet ink does not dry 
merely because it's exposed to air;  it dries as part of a reaction 
with the physical and chemical properties of the paper, or more 
precisely, its coating.   That's why using the exact right amount of 
ink matters.
