I had trouble only with the Bright White version also. The 325 non OBA paper is among my favorites - never a problem.

Thanks for the tips Paul. This particular CIS is designed for easy agitation. It hangs on the side with velcro, so agitation involves taking it off, tilting it a bit back and forth and re-mounting.

The curled paper issue is a serious problem. It's a tricky thing. The 325 gsm PA Smooth Fine Art is thicker than Epson technically allows, but it's perfectly flat. The thinner PA Fine Art 205 gsm is well within spec, but it has a bit of a curl. The PA Smooth Bright White 200 gsm I have (in 8.5 x 11 at least) is horrendously curled. Premier Art says it's not supposed to be... but there you go. I've been hand smoothing each sheet to get it flat!
