Don't you remember that funny little piece of flat plastic with a bit of
foam on the end that came with your printer...?

You are supposed to dampen it with plain old water and then run the paper
feed while is rubs up against the paper feed rollers.

With coated rag type papers the rollers very quickly become coated with a
layer of dust and coating stuff from the coating and become ineffective. A
quick clean usually restores them for a while - but it doesn't take long for
the coating to build up again and feed problems to recur

I think the thicker the paper (and the fancier the coating/price) the worse
the paper is for causing this.

EHM barely causes it, glossy/semi-gloss not at all - any of the more art
papers - for sure
