Digital BW, The Print

Hi

Apologies if this has been addressed before - I can't find anything in
the archives.

A5 and A4 prints I make on thicker paper (eg Photo Rag 308) in my R220
often get ink wiped onto the trailing edge of the sheet by the bottom
of the print head.  This happens when the trailing edge comes out from
under the rollers and lifts up slightly.

I've tried raising and lowering the angle of the tray which catches
the paper.  This makes a difference but doesn't solve the problem.

I also tried taping another sheet of paper with masking tape onto the
trailing edge of the sheet going through the printer.  (This
effectively gives a single sheet which is as wide as an A4 sheet but
twice as long, with the print on the first sheet and the second sheet
held under the rollers once the first comes free.)  This worked in
terms of stopping the ink smudges, but when I removed the tape some of
the backing of the paper came away.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Thanks for your advice

Chris
