How did you treat the pressure rollers?
I have not yet found an ideal solution. I just cut them apart so i got a  
single roller on each end of the width. But i could not feed a PCB with  
the full width, the rollers would not lift that much. It is not a problem  
for printing on paper, and i don't think i will need a pcb that wide, but  
if you have a good solution...

What did you use as carrier (material)?
