Re: Paper Thickness - Epson 1400

2010-01-05 by tboleyyh

with care it will take any of those papers. But the more coated thick paper you put through, the more often you need to clean the feed parts to keep it working well.
Since it's an office printer it's happiest with thin papers, but these coatings will powder off onto the feed parts and hamper grab eventually no matter how thick or thin.
