Hi Joost
The R1800 does a pretty good job of registration when feeding paper 
through the rear manual paper feed tray using A4 paper. Have not yet 
tried it with larger paper. It is not perfect and sometimes will slip a 
couple of mm which is why I overlap the final pass of glop by 2mm all 
round the image so that I do not have to worry about perfect 
registration.
I would say 95% of the time I have no problems and I have printed 100s 
of images so far. I am careful when I am loading the paper to ensure 
the paper guides are a tight fit with the sides of the paper and I 
always load the paper by applying a little bit of constant downward 
pressure with my hand on the end of the paper until the printer fully 
loads the paper. I am not sure if this helps but I guess I am hoping 
that always using the same loading technique reduces the chance for 
error/misregistration.
cheers
jim
