Re: Paper feeding Cure for epson printers

2001-08-26 by Jerry Olson

Placing a 1/4" sheet of foamcore behind your paper (same size as the paper) when printing will usually eliminate any paper feeding problems. I've had feeding problems on all 3 of my printers, and this has taken care of it on all three.

This seems to thin the edge just enough to eliminate most feed problems with heavy paper.
