Something is quite wrong if the print head is touching the media. You might investigate why that is happening. It would seem that correcting that problem would provide you with more benefit than fixing the symptom.
I use my 220 quite a bit with some of the thicker papers and have never seen this happen.

When printing pictures with a majority of near Dmax areas I was
getting broad (regular 1/8-1/4 inch) texture scuffing look, both
horizontal and vertical. I couldn't cut the density back any further
without losing my Dmax.
Problem solved.... I mounted (with gaffer's tape) a muffin fan blowing
down into the print cavity which (I assume) speeds the drying of the
ink so there is no micro smeering by the print mechanism.
FYI... Very nice prints now ..from a B&W darkroom guy.
