Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I too have have this problem. The best fix I have found is to 
spray both sides of a thick matt paper with Windex with ammonia and 
feed it through from the back repeatedly.  This treatment usually 
lasts a few months and then has to be repeated if you are printing on 
thick art paper.
