Re: [Digital BW] R220 matte paper issues

2008-12-21 by Roger

I don't think I've found a paper that I couldn't feed at all (Moab
Entrada came close) but most thicker papers require a manual assist
(push down on it) to get it to catch.  If even that doesn't work,
you'll need to play the wet the thick paper in windex or water and run
it through the printer a few times game.  That gets some of the paper
dust out.

Some papers, like Innova SW 315 feed flawlessly in 4x6 but not in
8.5x11- go figure.
