Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Which printer?

3880 Steps (very condensed instructions so some intuition is required if you want to follow this).

1. Take the left bottom panel (below ink bay cover) off. One screw.
2. Pull the front load tray out and up. 
3. Stick a small head-wiper swab (you can get these swabs at Inkjetmall or at a lot of other places) into the small leaf-sensor area about 2 inches into the right-top area of the part exposed by step 1.
4. Now the printer can print with the front feed tray out (and the star wheels up).
5. Put a 17” wide pictorico sheet emulsion side down on the feed tray (where the prints comes out) with the edge resting just below the bottom exit rollers. (this keeps sheets from getting caught on stuff when printing.
6. Back-load your sheets and you are all set for zero star-wheels.

That much and more coming. 

best,
Walker
