Sheets/Rolls for HPR Which is Worse?

Sheets/Rolls for HPR Which is Worse?

2010-05-21 by Josh Hackney

I primarily use sheets in my 7800.  HPR sheets have a strong desire to curl
up toward the print head causing the potential for head strikes.  Rolls on
the other hand, if used with the built in cutter, produce dust that can clog
nozzles.  Buying roles, and cutting before inserting in the printer makes no
sense to me, and manually cutting with scissors/knife/epson add-on
cutter/other device after the print emerges is certainly possible, but not
ideal.

Is anybody doing production printing via rolls on HPR or another fine art
paper and still using the built in cutter?  Is the dust a long term reality
or just a theory?

Thanks.

Josh

Reality. Use some electric scissors, it is really no big deal.

Does the newer design cutter make any difference with the dust in the  
X900 series printers?

Completely, the cutter is way below the head, not even part of it.
