pizza wheels on a 1290

pizza wheels on a 1290

2004-07-13 by m_r_tomlinson

Hi

A few days ago I posted a problem I had with paper feed on my 1290
after removing the pizza wheels, but got no replies. Has anybody else
had this problem?

Basically I cannot get Permajet A3+ glossy paper to go through the
printer. It won't quite eject the paper at the end of the print cycle
and gets snagged up with the print head. I just ran an A3+ sheet of
photorag through and it is fine. I think therefore it is a combination
of the glossy slipperiness of the paper and the fact that there are no
pizza wheels. Has anyone else had/solved this problem? The prints look
great with UT2 on this paper so I'd like to carry on using it.

I've had no problems with A3 smooth pearl. Still waiting for a box of
A3+ to arrive.

Thanks
Mark

Mark,

Those pizza wheels are clearly there for a reason.  Epson tries to print as
close to the bottom of the paper as possible.  If the wheels are gone and
the paper has a bit of curl, the head might hit it.  If you have room, move
the image up on the paper by having some white image area at the bottom of
the image.  Also, bend the bottom corners down a bit if the paper is
slightly curved.

Thanks, Paul.

I have tried not printing on the last couple of inches and it still
does it. I'll try your idea of bending the corners of the paper. The
print head does seem to just catch the corner at the end of the cycle.
