Digital BW, The Print

Mike

The machine will not feed the Epson Enhanced Matte at least half the
time. I can load single sheets (8.5x11) or several, it makes no
difference. It will cycle but for some reason the paper will not feed.
 Naturally, I went to the Epson site and checked for fixes. Cleaning
rollers, blowing dust away, etc. 

This  happens whether I'm using large sheets or 4x6 card size. The CIS
(A Lyson with 3mk) works like a charm. Clayton's QTR is outstanding
and if I get a print, it's superb. I'd never go back to a Focomat 
since the new methods have so many pluses. When they work. :)  

When I first used the machine it was with the luster paper. Feeds
fine, looks like hell. (to me at least) I generally find a method I
like and stick with it. I want to use matte-surfaced paper but not
pebbled, artsy crafty stuff. to many years as a photojournalist) I'd
always had very good luck with the Epson EEM paper but open to other
suggestions.

Thanks,

Walt  (doing much better now after several clonidines)
