Hi all,

I have a question maybe someone can answer here. I have used Pictorico for a while, with an Epson 2200. I have been working on one particular negative, and every single time I print it, on Pictorico, I get these little pinholes (always always up in the blank sky area). I have cleaned everything-- my house, the dog, the computer/scanner/printer, the room itself, and I've cleaned the original negative obsessively. The entire room/computer/scanner/ printer/negative/dog are cleaner than they've ever been. I opened up a new packet of Pictorico, thinking that maybe something was wrong with the original packet I was using. But the first one out of the box--I printed it, and it was all clean, except for about 6 little pinholes in the sky. Well, they vary in size. I'm going crazy with this.

They don't seem to be dust marks; they just look more like little places where the ink isn't going down properly--or something. So I don't know if this is a static electricity problem or a humidity problem or what. I really haven't a clue. So if anyone else has suffered from this, please tell me what to do about these little pinholes. I'm going crazy here.

Thanks for any help!

Diana
