    ET-8550 - Excessive Borderless Printing What Precautions?

    Thread title says it all. If I do a lot of borderless printing, should I take any additional precautions? If I run my finger over the little felt pad right after a borderless print, I can rub off some ink. Not much, but enough that it's visible. I see no other areas in the printer that are...
