Digital BW, The Print

Now that my 1160 has been felled by the monster clog, I'm considering 
getting an Epson 1280 to produce b/w prints with either the PiezoTone or 
MIS ink sets. Does anyone have experience running thick paper through a 
1280? I've used Cone's Orwell (Hahnemuhle German Etching) in the past and 
liked it, but it is rather thick. I would also like to know if the heavy 
weight of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag will go through the printer.

Any opinions?
