I had no trouble running Epson Premium luster through the rear 
feeder. After that I had trouble feeding Hahnehuhle Rag and Fine art 
pearl through the rear feeder ( I assumed that I needed practice to 
get the hang of it), meanwhile I found that I  could feed them more 
easily  through the automatic bulk feeder, since all the targets I am 
printing are on 8.5x11 paper anyway. Since then I have sent Premier 
luster Rag and Innova F matte through the automatic feeder with no 
trouble. I returned today after two weeks to profile Innova F type 
gloss and Museo silver rag. I couldn't get the curl out of the f type 
gloss even after 24 hours under a 100lbs weight. The f type gloss 
wouldn't go through the auto feed or the rear feeder even at 
a "wider " platen gap setting. I finally gave up and moved on to the 
Museo and that's when I started to get the swing and tilt.  Since I 
wrote my message earlier I have managed to print a target on fine art 
pearl without movement using the auto feeder. But Museo silver rag 
continues to move at the last quarter inch of the print. I also 
forgot to mention that the movement is accompanied by a clicking 
noise, just like those space aliens that experimented on the star 
trek crew in the middle of the night.
