Re: [Digital BW] Epson printers and double sided papers.....??

2008-08-11 by Richard Smallfield

Hi Sarah,
I have the 2100 and only ever use double-sided papers.

Are you talking about the paper moving as it leaves the rollers and making a double edge on the end inside the  printer?

I find I need a 2cm margin on the side of the paper last to leave the printer and then I'm safe.  The smallest I ever print with this paper is A5, however, which leaves more space around the print. You may just have to make the image smaller. Or use a larger piece of paper (A5/half letter) and cut it down after printing.

I print on Entrada 300 a lot and never have any such problems.

But PremierArt Matt BW is a good cheaper alternative.

I find that tech support people often know less than we, the consumers, do - sadly.
