Re: Problem with rear feed on Epson R1900 with Cone Studio Type 5 Paper and QTR

2011-04-06 by Christopher

So far no luck.  Epson technical support walked me through setting the
Epson print driver to thick paper, but I'm not sure if that matters
using QTR to print.  Here is a pic of a print in progress that shows
exactly where the damage is occurring during the printing process.
