Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Epson 1400 & thick paper

"Does anyone want a very slightly used 1400, cheap???"

How cheap?

It just so happens that I am printing with QTR and MIS B&W inks on a
refurbished 1400 today. (Yes guys, I got it working. The K cartridge was
defective. I replaced it, ran twelvty-seven cleaning cycles and now all
nozzles are good.)

I have printed with Arches Hot and Cold Press and three similar thickness
watercolor papers from other companies, all today. Aside from having to push
the paper into the printer a little bit at the outset, I've had no trouble
at all.

I am on a Mac. I also run Linux on a couple of other machines, though I
don't do any printing from those machines.

If I had to guess, I would start by being suspicious of Wine. On its best
day, Wine is iffy. Do you have a Windows box or a Mac you can try the 1400
from? If it works from one of those, the problem is Wine.
