It's probably the printer that is at fault, it wasn't designed for thick
papers.  You need to buy a kit that will replace the springs and roller
feeding mechanism with heavy duty springs. There are a couple places on
the web that sell them, can't remember who at the moment, but someone on
the list will.  I had 2 3000 printers, always had banding, and large
prints were never square.
