How to slow down an Epson 2200?
I'll bet you never thought someone would like to slow down colour printing.
I have an Epson 2200 and when printing with Costco 8.5X11 paper, the ink doesn't dry quite fast enough so that the final rubber rollers track the ink lengthwise on the picture. Doesn't always happen, but often enough to be a problem. The texture of the Kirkland brand paper I think is superior to Epson Glossy Photo and 2/3 of the price. What's the cure--? slow down printing to give enough time for ink drying or??? thanks rtm |

You just keep selecting different papers until you find the one that works best for you and your paper. Experiment! DK |

Kirkland paper is supposed to be Ilford. How much better can you get?

I believe there is a command or option in the driver to slow it down.
Someone also sells a little device that slightly lifts the last set of wheels to remove them form the path of the paper. If you need the address for it, email me privately.

Look under CustomAdvanced in the driver tab and you'll find a box for
high-speed. Uncheck it and it prints in one head direction only. At least it works that way with the PM4000-PX, which is the Japanese equivalent of the 2200.

In advanced settings
ink config There is a setting to change the drying time; not sure if it is only the time between pages or if it slows down the printer as well.
