"Now this is a short tutorial to show you how to eliminate these 'Pizza Wheel' marks from your prints - can you see, we've got a little pair of indentations up our print here, which is quite annoying - now those little 'Pizza Wheel' marks (we call them) they are little pin-pricks which come from the wheels down in the bottom of our printer, can you see, this is a typical inkjet printer with these little rollers here, now the rollers are spring-loaded and the paper comes through, and in order to support the paper as it comes out of the printer, these (rollers) actually put a little bit of pressure down on to the top of the paper to ensure that the paper can push out the exit of the printer cleanly, and without twisting out of register. We've already marked on the steel mounting plate with felt-tipped pen which is the offending wheel which is causing the problem. The reason that this pair of wheels are causing the mark is either side, it looks like there is a steel axle on one side, and a steel axle on the other side, but in actual fact, that is a spring - so what you need to do is you need to get some MAGIC BULLET PRINTHEAD CLEANER - Now this fluid actually dissolves the dried ink that is built up on either side of the wheel - now that axle is supposed to be flexible like a spring - look where my screwdriver is - on the steel mounting plate, there a little dots - these little dots indicate over-sprayed ink that is sprayed over the top of the plate and guide wheels, and it has got into the side of the wheel, where the spring is. So what we need to do is get a little bit of MAGIC BULLET - Now this syringe and clear tube comes with the kit, and what you do is put just a little bit of MAGIC BULLET fluid (3ml approx) on one side of the wheel, soaking the spring, and another droplet on the other side, again soaking the spring, like so, now what we do, we push a pretty thick piece of cardboard underneath the wheels from the front of the printer - Can you see that as we do this, the wheels rise up quite a bit (let's get closer, so we can see the action) - we're pushing this card in and out, and the actual wheels are going up and down by a good couple of millimetres, and the thickness of the card determines the amount that the wheels raise up, so it needs to be a good thick card (you can make up the thickness by using layers of card to make up the 2 - 3mm thickness required). Now I am going to push this card in and out a number of times, at least 12 times, and then what I am going to do, I am going to withdraw the card, then I's going to put a second application of MAGIC BULLET fluid on either side of the wheel to be absolutely certain that I have soaked and freed up the spring on either side of the wheel. Now I wouldn't bother doing the other springs on wheels that are not giving you any problems - I think that is more important to concentrate on the roller that is causing the problem - I would repeat the operation of inserting the thick card in and out about 12 times again.. - Let's show you the actual thickness of the card that I am using - just about the thickest card I can get (around just over 2mm thick). Then, allow your fluid to dry, then you can test out your printing, and what should happen is that your wheel support should start to behave like a spring again, raising up in the normal way, with a light pressure, and you won't get a reputation of your 'Pizza Wheel"marks on your print, which are quite irritating when you know that they appear on every one of your prints - So that's a very nice, easy method of eliminating this problem - thank you for watching!"
