If it's only 1mm wide it sounds like one of your 'pizza wheels' is damaging the surface of your paper Richard. Consider removing them... but be warned that they are there for a reason! http://www.mwords.co.uk/pages/printers/printersHowDoI.htm#RemovePizzaWheels A related problem I see on occasion on people's prints, is related to the pressure betweeen the pizza wheels and the rubber rollers underneath. When the paper is very wet, this pressure can give the paper a wavyness that you can be left in the paper for a good time if not permanently. I hope this gives you some ideas on what to look for, nij Nigel Rheam MWORDS Limited www.mwords.co.uk Digital Fine Art =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
