Hi,
I have an Epson 1400 since a few weeks ago and it's begining to mark printings with pinholes.
How to avoid it?
Thanks

I was thinking of getting the same printer so I am curious about the pinholes you mention

do you have a picture of exactly what you're talking about?

Have you recently changed the brand of paper you use?

elcrowley · May 29th, 2009

Here is a picture. Dots are inside of square. I don't have change paper because printer os our since only 2 months.

Those look like marks from the pinwheel that expels the paper after printing? You can remove them.

elcrowley · May 29th, 2009

Yes, marks are of wheels that expel paper. I did remove one set of them
to avoid wires "crash" with cartridges.
Marks are from other wheels at other side. And I'm afraid t remove them beacuse I don't know hot to put on his place later.(Anyone know how to put wheels again ? I've tried for hours and it's impossible.)

This is what happens when using a slow drying paper, the wheels are going over wet ink. It doesn't happen when using an istant drying paper.

Well, problem has been solved (just a little) with Bidirectional printing UNselected.

Does the 1400 have a lever to adjust for different papers like the 1290 has? If so try using the setting for thicker paper.
