Digital BW, The Print

I had significant pizza wheel problems on a 785, regardless of the paper
type. Removing them on this machine causes the lower 3/4" of the paper to be
unprintable. I shimmed the plate that holds them up about 1/32" with very
thin brass washers, and most of the time they are either very faint or
invisible. Using a thicker washer seemed to interfere with the paper-moving
mechanism too much, so my prints were no longer centered. It's amazingly bad
design. Surely they could have found a way to position the wheels so they
moved the non-printed side of the paper, instead of having them indent the
emulsion side, with its wet ink.

I've read articles on how to remove them from the 1270, so someone
must have problems, but I have an 1160 and a 1270 and have never had
an issue with them.
