Hi Leslie,
thanks for getting back to me.

The marks are about 1mm wide and are paler lines running through the black.

They seem to line up with the wide pale grey rubber rollers that are at the back of the printer behind where the print head passes.

How did you do that?

I've not had the pin pricks on this printer for memory. But have with other printers.

I mean the wide rubber pale grey ones.

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

I've been using PremierArt Matte BW but have tried EEM with the same result. I then tried some Entrada Natural and got the lines but they were fainter.

Does anyone know where to download a service manual for the 2100 printer? I tried one site but Internet Explorer told me that the security certificate pointed to another site and I shouldn't use the site as a result.

This site has a platen cleaning spray that looks interesting but I don't know if they are going to be able to ship aerosoles overseas. http://www.marrutt.com/inkjet-cleaning.php

thanks for your feedback,
Richard
