Digital BW, The Print

I feed 300gsm Entrada Natural through my 1400 all the time. One sheet at
a time, but I do have to rest my hand on the top of the paper for it to
feed. It is also true that, over time, the initial paper feed roller fed
less and less reliably until I sent a sheet of paper with windex on it
through the printer a couple of times. Now, it feeds about the same as
it was new (although, I admit that I really cannot remember *exactly*
how it fed when it was new).

I'm planning on using more 190gsm Entrada Natural so that feeding will
be easier; I figure even if it is on the edge of what Epson claims to be
able to feed, it's got to be a bit easier than the 300gsm. Besides, I
don't need the weight of the 300 unless folks will be handling the photos.
