I initially had a similar problem with my R800 when printing using small 
margins.  What was happening was that when the paper left the control of 
the rollers behind the head, its weight caused the trailing edge to lift 
slightly and the head touched the paper.  The front rollers weren't capable 
of keeping it located properly, causing it to shift and producing the blur 
you're also seeing.  Holding the front of the paper up (by lifting the 
tray) cured the problem.  Perhaps the Moab paper is more "slippery" than 
your usual stock and so more prone to this effect?
