Re: [HPDesignJet_Printers] Re: DJ130: RIP / BW tests / sheet feed issues

>> Try this, just print your letter size on the roll and check the save paper checkbox in the driver.   I did not buy the roll feed due the track marks on the prints that I had heard so much about. I built a PVC stand exactly like Bob Wise's (thanks, Bob) and chop the roll down. Turns out after a fair lot of printing today, the problem with sheet feeding was almost entirely the fault of the rip. I'm not having these problems with the stock driver.   After speaking with HP tech support, I'm understanding that the track marks are due to bad media batches and NOT any wheels within the roll feed. She insists those must have been bad media batches and sufficient dry down didn't occur by the time the print  hits the exit wheels. Comments?   >> Also, be careful handling the paper, hand oils will show up on the prints especially when they are on the bare paper and the ink is on top of the oils. I'm buying darkroom gloves for handling mine as I lost the first 2 turns of my last roll to fingerprints from when I loaded it.   I always wear gloves ;) I lost the first two turns of my roll to HP's idiotic masking taping 1.5 times or so around the roll. Does anyone else find this incredibly lame on their part?   Michael www.mgordonphotography.com Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPDesignJet_Printers Post message: HPDesignJet_Printers@yahoogroups.com Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
