Photowarehouse transparency film

Hi Sandy

I don't think you can lift all the rollers at once; They have to be lifted individually and those tie-wrap heads have to be inserted to keep them up. At least that's what I've discovered so far.

And the cd bar is a rather slim bar about 5 inches long & attached to the assembly that holds the rollers. If you look into your printer from the front, it's on the left.

Yes, that is the way it looks to me as well, but the web site suggests that you can solve the problem by placing the tie-wraps at the two ends of the CD bar.

Oh yeah, I can see how one might think that was the case - too bad it's not so simple, huh? But the way I understand it is that the tie wraps have to be inserted on all the rollers including the ones under the cd bar which is a touch more squirly because you have to put the plastic things between the cd bar and the bar that is holding everything together.

My recommendation is to leave the rollers of the right and left most side down. It is unlikely that you will have ink on the substrate on those two areas. Leaving those down will aid in ejecting the media.

The pizza wheel lift is a seperate issue and does not require the use of wire ties.

If you open the lid to the printer and while facing the printer you will see a small white roller attached to the cd bar on your left. The " CD bar" as I'm calling it has the pizza wheels inserted into it. Reach down and gently lift the CD bar and at the same time press the white roller down. It will remain in place and hold the pizza wheels up, not contacting the transparency/substrate.

A silly question - I've locked the pizza wheel bar 'up' but how does one get it down again?

Good question. I don't have an answer for that.

I'm curious why you would need to get the pizza wheel bar back down again. Won't it also cause marks on normal photo prints, too, and not just the OHP?

Jeremy,

The pizza wheels affect some types of substrates severly such as Photowarehouse Ultrafine Clearprint film which I'm sure you know. Some inkjet papers are also affected by the pizza wheels, but I've forgotten which ones. Epson papers and Epson compatible papers don't have problems with the pizza wheels marks or tracking.

I guess the big question then is you would want to put them back down if they only cause trouble. Obviously you don't really need them or you couldn't print on the Photowarehouse OHP with good results.
