Epson R200 catching corners of photo paper while printing! ARGH! skewing image while printing! HELP
"Te" wrote in message news:... I desperately need help here... I'm printing (among other things) dvd covers on my Epson R200, I just got this printer recently. I've been successfully and happily printing photo's and covers on my HP Photosmart 7660 since May, but I also wanted to be able print onto CDR/DVDR media, so I bought the R200... I print alot of Photo's and Covers, and I've been printing my covers on glossy photo paper - the same kind you'd print a photograph on. But a new problem has come up.... The beginning of the paper feeds no problem- but at the end of the print process, just before the end of the sheet of paper, the print head catches the corners of the paper, and skews the paper over a bit, and the printer continues to print- so the image is all screwed up and shifted see the picture below image url: http://home.comcast.net/~araltd/problemr200.jpg you can see from the picture, the bottom corners of the paper have ink on them from rubbing against the print head, and you can clearly see on the top two pages, how the paper shifts while printing and skews the image. the top most page even bled off the edge at one point. This never happened on the HP- and I'm guessing its because of the way the HP feeds the paper from the bottom- where the Epson feeds from the back. This is unacceptable, I desperately need a fix for this- What I've been doing is pushing (folding) the back corners of the paper down so they wont catch, thats obviously not working too well. This can't be the accepted norm for this printer- I mean, DVD Covers are one thing, but when I'm printing PHOTO's --- C'mon! This is not even close to acceptable. Any help would be appreciated. THANK YOU. |

THANK YOU. I don't own this printer but is there a little lever that raises and lowers the print head to allow for different thicknesses of media? If so, make sure it's raised. Nodge |
