streaking/smearing with 1280, UT2 CFS, & Permajet Alpha

streaking/smearing with 1280, UT2 CFS, & Permajet Alpha

2005-01-16 by Allan Chen

Hi all,
	I'm getting some smearing and streaking when printing with my 1280, 
with UT2 CFS, onto Permajet Alpha (300 gsm paper).  I have the printer 
set to the "thicker paper" setting.
	Now...I don't think I had this problem in the past.  However, I did 
remove the pizza wheel rollers because they were causing issues with 
Ilford Smooth Pearl.  Is it possible that the absence of the wheels is 
letting the paper...curl upward or something, and rubbing against the 
innards of the printer?  To make things weirder, the middle of the print 
is fine, it's only the top of the print that gets smeared.
	Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this?  Should I put the pizza wheel 
rollers back in for matte, then out for glossy?

thanks,
allan
