Pinchwheel Marks when using Glossy Media

Description of problem

The Pinchwheels mark the glossy media and some waves can be seen in the printed images that have high density area fills. This happens when using HP Productivity Photo Gloss media and it can be seen especially at the beginning of the first print job after loading the media (the skew check routine moves the media backwards and forwards several times).

Corrective Action

1. If an image is to be printed that has high density area fills, advance the media so that the problem is greatly reduced.
2. Reprint the image (the problem will be reduced).
