Hi Richard:

Do the marks line up with any of the rollers, are the marks wide or  
really thin?

AFAIK there are only three sets of rollers in my 2200, the white ones  
before the inkhead, the wide rubber ones after, and the thin metal  
ones also after the inkhead. I know the wide ones will mark and I  
also have them disabled, except for a couple on the far ends. I know  
the metal ones will make a mark on black solids, usually a line of  
white pin pricks. What do you mean by rear feed rollers?

What paper are you running, I assume some kind of glossy?
