Digital BW, The Print

> I don't have a good answer for you on how to get rid of pizza wheel marks.  Using the least amount of ink and glop in a profile no doubt helps.  I think the 1400 needs its exit rollers for good paper transport.

Looks like the transport works well after removing all of the single wheel rollers, at least it makes things a bit less bad, still the double rollers are affecting the prints. I even tried with Epson Premium Glossy, and lots of trails on those too.


> Yesterday I was printing glossy prints with the 1400-Claria/Noritsu dyes and the 4000 with MIS pigments.  I was using Red River Polar Pearl Metallic as well as Arctic Polar Gloss and Satin.  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.  

Do you print any glossy at all with 1400/UT-14 or alikes?


> I have not seen a good comparison of different inks and printers to know which are the best or worst.

But for Epson printers without pizza rollers? Which one(s) of them do you recommend for both carbon/matte and glossy with MIS inks?


I need to try to get up to speed with how to create my own profiles here in order to see if I can decrease the amount of pigments sprayed onto the papers I can get a hold of here.

Anyone else have any advice or experience with 1400 and MIS UT-14 printing glossy without pizza wheel trails?
