Hi, I'm experiencing much frustration printing on a roll of Red River Palo Duro Satin. It appears the roll is not very clean of debris from the production process. Often this debris gets printed on, and then later falls off the print, leaving behind white spots on my print. If I avoid printing borderless, my chances of getting a clean print go up, but still no guarantee. I'm curious what more experienced folks here suggest as a path forward. Some ideas:
1. Switch to a different brand. I know Red River is more on the "economy" side. Would the problem go away if I switch to a "higher quality" paper?
2. Pre-dust in advance of printing. This is an obvious thing to do with sheet-cut paper, but I don't know how I'd go about it with roll paper.
2.a. Should I measure out how much paper I'll need, un-roll, dust, then re-roll it before feeding in the printer? Or perhaps:
2.b. Meaure out how much paper I'll need, cut first, dust, then feed into printer? (seems to defeat the purpose of having a roller though)
2.c. Some other method I haven't thought of?
3. Avoid roll-printing all together. Is this just a downside to printing on any brand's roll?
4. Switch to a different paper from Red River... ?
Any insights you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
