paper weight and Epson 1280

paper weight and Epson 1280

2004-11-22 by Allan Chen

All,
	Okay, so with the recent discussion on "best" paper weight, I realized 
that I wasn't entirely sure about what weight restrictions there are on 
a 1280.  There isn't a straight path option (unlike the 2200), and I did 
get some kind of new, squeaking sound the one time I fed ~300 gsm paper 
(Hot Press) through it, so I thought I'd go look it up in the documentation.
	I didn't find anything, actually.  Now, I know that people print on 
some pretty heavy paper with this printer, but I am wondering if anyone 
knew the actual specification?  I'm going to be using some "better" 
paper soon (either permajet alpha or entrada) and wasn't sure if feeding 
a lot of ~300 gsm stuff through it was a great idea.

	thanks.  and if the archive search feature worked properly (I only get 
like 5 results no matter what I search for), I'd have looked this up on 
my own.

thanks,
allan

permajet alpha...

2004-11-24 by Allan Chen

Hi all,
	So...I've been thinking about trying out Permajet Alpha as it's gotten 
such good comments, and I need to print some "real" stuff that a friend 
wants to purchase.
	However, I'd really like to try it before buying a whole pack.  Does 
anyone know if there is a sample pack option?  I called Jobo but they're 
"looking into it."  Any suggestions?

thanks,
allan
