[Leica] printing with R800

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Well that eliminates two possible causes. But don't you like the Epson 
watermarks? They are very artistic. You can charge extra for
making a creative statement. Next, have you tried feeding some plain paper 
through manually to see if it gets smeared going through?
Have you run a cleaning cycle and printed a nozzle check? I presume you just 
let the print air-dry afterwards, not put anything on
it? Has this effect shown up again on another print since this one? I might 
try some test prints on plain paper with the settings
changed appropriately too.

I'm using the Epson ink that is specifically for the R800, and it was  
printed proper-side up. There are all of those unseemly "Epson"s on  
the back, and I never thought they were good watermarks for my  
images. ;-)
