Epson 3000

2003-11-13 by Thomas Keesling

<<It takes the heavy German Etching 310 with no problem. >>

I don't know about paper thickness variances, but mine won't handle the 308
Hahnemuhle PR. In fact, it struggles a bit with Museo (205gsm, I think).

Paper handling is one of the weakest aspects of the 3000 and probably varies
from machine to machine. I suspect it was a quality control issue, or maybe
just related to changes in manufacturing over the long period that the 3000
was produced. In any case, I don't think anyone should assume that all 3000s
will handle the heavier papers equally.
