In an effort to improve my prints, I retired my Epson 860 and purchased the 2200. Thus far it looks like a big mistake, as the 2200 has yet to print anything which isn't totally ruined by markings from the rollers.
I refer to the rubber rollers along the front edge of the printer. They seem to be picking up ink from the print as it passes beneath them, resulting in pale linear smudging running the entire length of the print. These tracks are about 1 inch apart and the width of the rubber "tire" on the rollers.
I have attempted to clean these with water, but it made no difference.
As a secondary issue, the color of the prints from the 2200 is way off. The 860 was quite good. Do I need to find the right color profile or somehow change the color gamut of the printer?
If it matters, the paper I have attempted to use is glossy photofrom Kodak.
Thanks for any suggestions. My $600 investment weighs heavily on me at this point.
