Re-placement of ink cartridges

"I for one have had serious trouble feeding anything over a 205 gsm paper
through my 1280, and the few times I did I had to re-align my printer head."

This isn't the first time I've heard this about the 1280, but I'm still
surprised. I routinely feed the 425gsm Epson Smooth Fine Art paper through
my 1280. It won't feed on its own. I have to firmly grip both edges and very
gently use downward pressure to feed it, but it works most of the time.
Photorag 308 is even easier to feed into my 1280.

I think I've been doing this for nearly two years now. Maybe I'm somehow
damaging the printer and shortening its life, but so far it hasn't been a
big deal with my 1280.
