Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tyler:

Just for fun, I recommend putting a heavy sheet of watercolor paper  
behind the thin sheets you are feeding and see if that helps with the  
feeding, I would not exceed the 12mil limit for the watercolor paper  
though just in case it also feeds through.

Hope that helps,

Andrew
