Right, notice how everyone here who has one seems to fall in love with it?

None of that dinking around helped me much, sure took a lot of my time though. I think we once discussed the surface 
quality of the papers, how the roller can't hold some surfaces well. Might explain the discrepency with measuring success 
by gsm alone. I think you topped me with experiments by a long shot, adhesives, tractor feed, etc...
Your description of watching the heads go back and forth sounded all too familiar, I think there's something wrong with us.
