Re: Epson C86 not up to paper handling of HPR 308gsm?

2005-11-23 by Clayton Jones

Hello Mitch,

>...printer has refused to feed the HPR paper, 
>Anyone have a suitable thinner substitute for HPR, 

I really like Red River's Dourian Art, which is pretty much identical
to PR (many suspect it is made by Hahnemuhle, they say it is made by a
German company).  It is 250 gsm and 2-sided as well.

As for feeding thicker papers, I find that if I bend a slight curl
into the leading edge of the paper, so that it's pointing into (or
toward) the thing that grabs it, I have more success.

Regards,
Clayton
