Re: 2200 roller marks on Ilford Gold Fibre Silk

2008-02-10 by djon43

2200 paper path causes problems with some of the new
surfaces...softer maybe than old surfaces...some are
reportedly problems for 2400 as well...

One easy fix: simplify paper path by feeding from
back, not top, and by elevating paper exit in front,
NOT by raising tray but instead by supporting paper
IMMEDIATELY as it exits machine..easily done by
putting a paper box on top of tray, up close to the
paper exit..

I had roller marks, not seen except at angle, on
several of new Moab/Legion's best papers as well as
their cheapest glossy (no problem with excellent old
Moab Kokopelli gloss or Costco gloss). My workaround
solves the problem. Might be possible to load from top
if only that elevation routine is used, but I've not
checked. 

I agree about MIS. Works fine for a while. I'd prefer what I produced
with their B&W until I added up the hassle (many evidently love the
hassle, I don't mean to criticize it)..and threw out my MIS-dedicated
machine...probably retiring my remaining 2200 anyway...more into 
photography than tinkering with printers/inks...will likely switch to HP.
