Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I've got what seems an insoluble problem with my Epson 2100.

On night shots I'm getting pale roller marks in the black skies.

It is definitely NOT the exit rollers because the marks do not align with them (and anyway I've tried lifting them out of the way with ties).

So it can only be the rear feed rollers.

I've tried cleaning them with the foam roller cleaner that came with the printer and I've tried using cotton buds with window cleaner.

Nothing works.

It's ok with day shots or shots without large black areas.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I suspect I might have to send it off to get new rollers fitted.

thanks,
Richard
