Re: [Digital BW] Somerset Velvet too thick

2002-06-21 by phpgeek

I'll try again tonight, but I was only using one sheet at a time. I
generally don't load piles of anything other than regular paper in the
tray. Everything else, I only load as much as I'm going to need (I had
a printer that gave me that habit when it would churn through 10 pages
and only print a single character on it when it threw an error). I'll
try the board method as well as "giving it a shove". I also ran across
someone who attaches a strip of regular bond paper with doublestick
tape and it'll pick that up and pull it through. I may try that as
well. I love the texture of the Somerset Velvet and want it to work.
