print "ghosting"

Hi all-

I'm running epson 11880's using Mac OS and the photoshop driver. I use 44" or 60" rolls in a variety of glossy and matte media. I've have been having issues with "ghosting", especially when running test patches of greyscales. On some papers (but not all) midway through the print I start to see magenta or cyan "ghosting" which lasts an inch or two then fades out. sometimes after this happens i get paper skew errors on the printer, but not always. i've also noticed certain media tends to drift on the spindle leaving a gap where it was originally flush against the spindle end. i always make sure my paper is squared off before i begin printing but it still happens. has anyone seen this or found a solution to this? I'm in the process of testing papers and don't want to eliminate papers based on this problem if there is a simple solution. thanks in advance!
 
The one suggestion that comes to mind regarding the skewing of paper is to make sure that your paper thickness is set correctly in your printer settings over on the printer, and in the driver settings wherever you select which media to print on.
