I finally was able to try a some Epson Smooth Fine Art roll paper in my 3000. The good news is that the roll version is only 225 g, so it feeds fine. The bad news is that with the 3000 and FS-N inks the paper is very blotchy -- useless, in my view. I saw a sample that had been printed on a 7600 and it was just marginally better. The best black I saw from the 3000 FS-N combination was 1.57 with the PQIJ paper setting. The settings that put out more ink posterized the print and result in a lower density black.
