Digital BW, The Print

Is the mis-fed sheet the only sheet in the printer at the time, 
Bruce? Whether the paper is relatively thick or not, I think it feeds 
more reliably if there is what Epson calls (in English) a "Loading 
Support Sheet" on the bottom of the short stack on which you're going 
to print. They supply one with at least some of their paper. But I 
often just use a sheet or EAM/EEM or Museo or the thicker Eclipse on 
which I've printed a draft. Anything which raises the sheet(s) on 
which I want to print seems to work.

You're right, I believe, in thinking the paper setting isn't 
implicated. But using the plus/heavy setting does seem to have caused 
some "overspray" problems for at least some people. I think I 
remember that being reported mostly about the 1280, but I have the 
mis-feeding problems on my 1160s as you have on your 1280.
