Re: Epson 1400 pizza wheel marks

2008-09-26 by djon43

I'm not familiar with the mechanics of the 1400, but to the extent
that the exit rollers are like 2200's, this may help:

Add 1" (or whatever approximates the height of the paper when it
leaves the exit rollers) to the exit platform. I do this simply by
laying a photo paper box on the reception tray. 

The problem has to do with the way the paper bends on exiting...reduce
or eliminate the last bend and you may eliminate the flaws.

I struggled with pizza and other marks on some of the pseudo-silver
semi-gloss and gloss papers, was told by the marketing director of one
of the best manufacturers that this was inevitable with 2200 and even
2400...but I instantly eliminated the problem with that simple fix.
Unfortunately, that fix won't eliminate 2200's B&W bronzing :-(
