Re: Pizza wheel marks

Re: Pizza wheel marks
I solved my problem in a more radical way: I just removed the pizza wheels
(Epson 1160)!!! It's so easy! They were scratching my inkjet negatives on
Epson transparency, Pictorico and Ultrafine but it's allright now. As far as
I can see 1270 and 1280 (1290 here in Europe) are very similar to 1160 (in
terms of housing design & construction).. So, I make an assumption that
removing pizza wheels from 1270 and 1280 should be as easy as removing them
from 1160... I cannot comment on C84.

Loris.

I had a lot of problems with "pizza wheel" marks on transparency material
using my Epson 1290 (I think that's 1280 in the US): at the time I was using
some cheap transparency film from a local office supply warehouse.

I thought of all kinds of possible solutions - but in the end the problem
completely went away when I changed to 3M so-called "professional quality"
material (CG3490) which seems to dry instantly and isn't softened by the
inks.
