Title: Black lines at start of print Post by: roa5100xx on December 04, 2015, 04:21:07 PM Hi,
Need some help with my Epson 3880 printer. I am starting to get three black lines at the bottom of my prints on the right side as the print comes out of the printer. Each line is about a half inch long and half inch apart. The paper configuration is set the way it has been for the past five years, paper thickness:3, platen gap: auto, everything else is set to zero. I am printing on Epson luster paper. Printer is five years old. How can I fix this? Thanks Herbert Title: Re: Black lines at start of print Post by: Fred A on December 04, 2015, 05:27:38 PM Quote Need some help with my Epson 3880 printer.

Maybe I'm good to go.

Maybe I'm good to go. Herbert, Glad it is working properly. Just for my mental picture, these black lines were rectangles, as in covering parts of the print. Not a smear type of black line. Also asking how wide are the lines? Could be from the paper being pulled across a specific wet ink area? Fred |
