QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi,
in solid black areas I'm getting roller marks from QTR but not from
the Epson driver, on my Epson 2100.

The only possible reasons I can think of are a difference in ink load
and a difference in print speed, perhaps.

However, while reducing the link limit in QTR did reduce the problem,
it did not remove it.

Can anyone please suggest a cause or something to try to rectify this?

Many thanks,
Richard

I am having a similar problem on my Epson 2200 except the ink spots are on  
the edges of the paper at the end of the printing. And mine also does not do it 
 with Epson printing. -- Robert

Richard, What paper? Ink or Epson pigment?

Here's a fantasy/guess: perhaps paper is wet for a shorter time with
Epson driver vs QTR, making surface delicate longer.

Here's real experience: You might try elevating paper immediately at
the the exit rollers...not just lifting the tray... a paper box that
happens to be about as high as the exit rollers solved that problem
for me, when using an otherwise mark-prone fibre paper...the idea is
to prevent  paper that's still damp/fragile from having to arch
downward onto the plastic tray...

You might also compare back loading to top loading...

The two tricks together have allowed my 2200 to print some of the
newer fibre papers without mars/roller-marks.

Robert,  

Your experience is common when top-loading heavy papers (try
back-loading even though it's slower) and also due to poor coating
quality of the most heavily promoted baryta papers (results in edge
curvature that was never seen in traditional baryta-coated silver paper). 

You should also wipe out ink buildups inside the printer...try running
faintly damp (misted) wasted prints through the printer repeatedly.
