I'll answer some of my own questions here.  I used a little block of
foam core and lifted the pizza wheels off the paper.  So no pizza
wheel marks......

But of course the problem is the rubber rollers just after the pizza
wheels.  They are so close to the "axle" or hinge point of the strip
of metal holding both the pizza wheels and the rollers that you can't
really lift them up and gain any space so they couldn't touch the paper.

So short of taking the printer apart and removing the whole strip of
rollers I don't know what I can do.

I'll add that I am making the problem worse by using UT7 w/o any
profile/tone curve chosen at all. No carbon, no warm just print.

 You can a very very VERY deep black this way and I really like the
print tone.  But of course this puts down alot of ink and the rollers
love to pick it up and drag it onto the print surface and pull it off
the print surface.
