I'm wondering if other users have had issues with pizza wheel tracks on the epson 1400 and what remedies you may have found.

I don't have any problems with them with the HP PK black only printing.  I think the faster the ink dries, the less likely the problem will occur.  With no dilute ink or glop, the HP PK is probably dry enough by the time it hits the exit rollers (using 2880, high speed off) that they leave no marks.  Paper type probably a factor also, but I don't recall seeing the problem with any of the papers (several varieties of Red River glossy stock) that I've been using for my brochures.

Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping that I'd hear someone say "Oh I just removed them" or "I used spacers to lift them". 

I may have to try the HP PK ink but right now I'm limited to options with the MIS inks on this paper. I can't really make it dry faster or lay down less ink so I'll have to take a shot at raising the pizza wheels. 

Thanks again.
