Re: Is inkjet printing as bad...("pizza wheels")

["Andrew D. Dierlam" <adierlam@gte.net>]

Mike:

I can't really answer your question about the Pizza Wheels
because I've never had them.  I have heard that thicker
papers are more prone to this effect.  Are you using Epson
Photo paper?  If you are, I think I would be discussing the
matter with Epson.

You might want to look at the archives for this list.  There
have been many posts on this subject.

Some folks have even removed the output feed wheels that
apparently cause this problem.  I certainly wouldn't do that.
I would stay after Epson for proper alignment or another
machine.

The fact that most machines don't have them seems to tell me
it's a simple alignment problem.

Good luck!

Andy
