I recently installed a Epson 9800. While I am very pleased with the color, I keep having surface
problems with large prints (ie 36x48 inch). I print on Epson premium luster paper. After printing, I lay a sheet
of tracing paper over the print, and then sandwich the print and the paper flat between two pieces of 40x60 foamcore board for a couple of days to let it cure. The problem is that the print
isn't totally smooth and flat, but it always comes out of that process kind of wavy. The waves appear like repeated ondulations parallel to the printing direction, but do not run the whole width of the paper. They are quite noticeable if you look at the print under an angle. The lightjets of the same size that got didn't suffer
at all from that problem.
Question for those of you who operate a large format Epson printer: is it normal ? Did you notice the same
problem, and if so, how were you able to eliminate it ?
Tuan.
