Re: EPSON 1400 + MIS UT-14, Pizza Wheel marks...

Hmm,

The only problem using Red River papers is that I can't get them here in Europe, and shipping costs makes this a quite cumbersome alternative.

I have seen 7600 printers for 300-400 eur used, do these ones have the vacuum transport instead of the pizza rollers?


:o)

I cannot detect any pizza wheel marks today.  I think the dyes, because they go into the paper are probably the least subject to the problem.
