This message goes out to anyone who has ever used the Wet Lab machines before.
My paper printer is creating dirty prints on any image with white or light colored edges. I have scrubbed, soaked, and cleaned any accessible part that I can easily remove and reinstall, but the problem will not go away.
On 5x7 size prints, I get a very straight and narrow band about 1/4" from the bottom edge, and depending on the colors, the edge that first pops out onto the conveyor belt looks like the edges were singed.
On 8x10 size prints, I get a straight wide bands across the image on the top and bottom.
The problem seems to go away if I print 5 to 10 copies of the images, sometimes not.
I have called Kodak multiple times about the issue, but they just close the case a week later after never seeing a tech step foot in my store. If anyone has a quick fix that can get me through the card printing season, or know what to tell Kodak to get them to come out, let me know.
EDIT: The problem occurs less often if I'm lucky enough to get the larger images to follow a series of 4x6 prints. This is leading me to believe that the problem is in the chemical tanks or the rollers the pictures travel through.
