Re: Pizza wheel marks

Some of the CIS kits for the Epson printers contain a package of "keys"
that you slip under the pizza wheels that lift them up and out of the
way. (or over the wheels, I dont' recall which, I've removed mine since
I'm not printing to film currently) You can simply pull them out when
you don't need them, I found them quite useful when printing on the
Pictorico film. You may be able to purchase a set of the "keys"
separately. Try the companies that sell the CIS ink systems for inkjet
printers, like Media Street, Inkjet Goodies, etc. Hope this helps.
