Has anyone ever seen printheads actually scrape the paper as they pass back and forth? It doesn't happen a lot, and it's not necessarily on heavy ink areas, or anything like that. It will print fine for 15-20 feet of paper, then all of a sudden, the heads start scraping the paper.... screws up tons of prints. I can fix the problem if I am here - I can tug down hard on both sides of the paper and it flattens back out. The paper seems to cockle up, sort of creaing a small wave, and that is where the heads scrape. I feel like it gets buckled as it's being fed in.... it's fine for a while, but then it starts to bunch up on itself......
Also, I have reduced the humidity in the room, and really (REALLY) started to control that. I'm at about 72-74 degrees, 39-43% humidity). That seems to have helped, but did not relieve me of this problem.
Any ideas? I can take more photos if it would help.
Thanks,
Jon
