Digital BW, The Print

IMO HPR's not-quite-close-and-no-cigar as fake-airdried-glossy, not
worth the problems people are reporting.  

I commonly run 305GSM 13X19 Entrada through the back slot, the way the
machine was designed, and I've also managed to get it to feed from the
top...a bad idea, unreliable, but possible. I think noises and erratic
experience demonstrate that top loading heavy paper stresses the
mechanism unnecessarily. 

The maximum print size on 13X19 will always be 12X18, from what I've
read and seen. 2200's not a borderless printer in any size, as far as
I know.
