Digital BW, The Print

I think a potential issue with that is that you are moving that whole
assembly closer to the print head.  I think if you had something like a very
fine pair of pliers (or were simply more careful prising the rollers up) you
could remove the pizza wheels without damaging the fine spring axle.  As I
got the hang of it I did not damage the last few.  In that case I think you
could potentially put them back.  They really did seem to simply be clipped
in with the fine axle there to simply keep them upright a little better and
hence avoid them jamming.

I have printed several prints since removing them on both A4 and A3 paper.
No issues thus far and no more pizza wheel marks.
