Magic Wheel Mark Cleaner – Stop”Pizza Wheel” Marks on your inkjet prints.

We’ve got a little pair of indentations up our print here, which is quite common but 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, 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.

What you need to do is you need to get some MAGIC WHEEL MARK 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 put just a little bit of MAGIC WHEEL MARK CLEANER fluid (3 ml 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 – the wheels rise up quite a bit, – 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 – 3 mm thickness required). push this card in and out a number of times, at least 12 times, withdraw the card, then put a second application of MAGIC WHEEL MARK CLEANER fluid and do it again.

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.
