Re: Almost perfect prints with Ilford Gold Fibre Silk on R2400, but some problem

2009-02-22 by rh.gaunt@att.net

I have the same sort of problem with my 2200.  What works (so far) for me is opening the 
paper "clamp" for back feed (forward on the 2400), quickly pulling a heavy piece of paper 
back and forth, and spraying the offending pizza wheel with canned air or Windex.  

I'll probably get booted from the group for saying this but after using HP fine art printers 
at Santa Fe Workshops, I'm ready to switch.  I have a love/hate relationship with Epson and 
the tilt is more toward hate recently.
