Re: [Digital BW] Innova Fiba Print roller marks

Thanks, Steve. I did try the platten gap adjustment, bumped it up to 10, and it helped a bit, but maybe not enough to resolve it. I wasn't sure (still not) whether the platten gap adjustment actually adjusts the rollers or the print head. I thought it was the print head. I will work on it, as it's a beautiful paper, I also like the Silver Rag, but the surface of the Innova for me is better. If I can it to work. If not, then I'll switch to the Crane. Problem is I bought rolls of the Innova already, lots of paper to go through. I did frame a print (Amalfi Coast) for someone that turned out fine, so the glass helps, but I still hope to eliminate it if possible. I'll try some more things and see if I can post a solution soon. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "stephengledhill" <stephengledhill@...> wrote: > > Hi Mike, > Lovely paper, particularly the 'Warmtone'.
