Re: 1400 paper feed

2008-10-31 by frankbickelmeyer

Hi,
i wonder if the 1400 feeds Calumet Brilliant Fineartpapers (which i
love most) which are 300 mg and 18-19 mil.? Premier Art Hot Press 325
for example has 17 mil. i guess and Paul wrote that this paper needs a
slight manual assist. What do you think?
