epson feed fix simple

2008-12-16 by djon43

IMO most of the feed problems have to do with paper coatings adhering
to the printer's feed rollers. Rather than feeding various crap into
the printer, hoping it'll hurt less than it helps, I use (very
occasionally) inkjet printer feeding kits from stationary stores
(Staples, Office Depot and others in the US). Remarkably, they
actually do exist. No need to reinvent the wheel. They say to use the
damp paperish-fabric-ish sheets that come sealed in envelopes only
once, but i use them twice. Actually, I think you could mist them
gently (ammonia, not mystery/windex) after every couple of uses and
reuse them more than that. No muss, no fuss, no wet paper scraps left
behind in the printer. Give it a try. What's wrong with using the most
standard, packaged solution?
