With the new V6 driver I was inspired to do some new tests.

Eclipse Satin 190gsm, Photo Rag 188gsm both seem to feed
reasonably well with 8.5 X 11 sheets but thats not to say
17 X 22 will do the same. One of the feed issues is skewing
which on my machine happens most with the 17 X 22 sheets.

Torchon 285 won't go even in small sizes.

William Turner is Wells River I think.
Ok letter size, No at larger sizes.

As Tyler mentioned its a wierd combination of paper thickness,
surface treatment, and surface texture that effects skewing
and "feedability".

I feed from the back (the Culberson method)
though I find if I can get a paper to feed
from the front, the increased roller contact
helps keep the paper straight...

Thanks
