epson feed fix simple
2008-12-16 by djon43
IMO most of the feed problems have to do with paper coatings adhering to the printer's feed rollers. Rather than feeding various crap into the printer, hoping it'll hurt less than it helps, I use (very occasionally) inkjet printer feeding kits from stationary stores (Staples, Office Depot and others in the US). Remarkably, they actually do exist. No need to reinvent the wheel. They say to use the damp paperish-fabric-ish sheets that come sealed in envelopes only once, but i use them twice. Actually, I think you could mist them gently (ammonia, not mystery/windex) after every couple of uses and reuse them more than that. No muss, no fuss, no wet paper scraps left behind in the printer. Give it a try. What's wrong with using the most standard, packaged solution?
