Marge,
Is this from the roll feed or the front feed? If its due to the roll
feeder (and you aren't going to run a huge number of prints or massive
panoramas or
something) you might consider just "butchering" the roll paper and using
the front feed on the printer. this is the way I normally use mine and I've
actually found it kind of helpful in mounting because I could do it
ahead of time and let the paper flatten some (I don't know who decided
on that tiny core
size for such heavy paper, but that wasn't one of their best decisions).
There used to be a tremendous amount of net traffic about this problem,
and I seem to recall at least one web article on how somebody "fixed" this
themselves in among all the diatribes on beating up HP about the problem.
Good Luck,
rkg

Does anyone have a Designjet 130 for sale? I need to replace my
current DJ130 because, now that I am ready to print for framing I
found that the prints all contain lines of faint scratches all along
the print, from the rollers. You can only see them if you view the
print from an angle but then they are extremely apparent!
I don't know what I can do to correct the problem-the rollers that
grab the paper and push it into the printer just seem to be pushing a
bit too hard. It's especially apparent on glossy paper. I'm using HP
Premium Plus Photo Gloss paper.
Anyway, I would like to purchase a printer that does not have this
problem - especially interested in one in the pacific northwest so I
could pick it up and avoid possible damage in shipping. I live near
Seattle...
Thanks,
Marge
