Re: [Digital BW] Innova Fiba Print roller marks

2007-09-05 by john dean

That is a good idea. First make totally sure that these rollers are
cleaned and dried. A common issue on the smaller printers is someone
ends up building up a bunch of ink in there from a print that didn't
go through correctly while the heads were still squiriting ink.

It is interesting that I've done years of work on a 9600,10&, and 7Ks
and have never experienced this or scratching on any of these papers,
Innova, Silver Rag, included. Guess I'm lucky. I did see that kind of
thing on the old 1200s and 1270's.
