Staining on Somerset Velvet

Staining on Somerset Velvet

2004-02-19 by Bill Schwab

I've recently begun using a new Epson 7600. Anyone who has purchased 
one recently may have received the circular band of spring steel 
encased in plastic used to keep the paper roll from unraveling while 
printing on sheets. I was away for the weekend and left a roll of 
Epson Somerset Velvet on my printer contained by this device. Upon 
taking it off today, only SIX DAYS since putting it on, it has left 
a bright yellow stain on the paper wherever contact was made. This 
covers about 12 inches of printable space wasting all of it. 
Whatever this covering is made of, it seriously reacts with this 
paper. Anyone had a similar problem? If not BEWARE.

Maybe they changed these bands.  Mine is always on some paper, sometimes for quite a number of days.  No problems.  Mine is from early last year.

I've always put a piece of 8.5x11 inkjet paper between the band and the 
roll paper to prevent the possibility of dings or marks. Good for stains 
too, I'm sure.

Re: Staining on Somerset Velvet

2004-02-19 by Tyler Boley

An example of an ongoing situation we are all learning to deal with.
The coatings on these papers yellow when exposed to certain chemicals,
even airborne. We had the exact same occurrence with the spring, I
suspect the new vinyl (or whatever it is) coating on it was outgassing
something the paper coatings doesn't like. You will find other items
easily instigate the same reaction, particularly adhesives, like the
sticky side of tape. Most discouraging is that some companies actually
use problematic tape to package the paper, ruining some of the contents.
If you search the archives of this and other lists I'm sure you'll
find plenty of other complaints, including my own. Be wary of what
comes near your prints, how they are stored, packaged, etc..
