QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello everyone, 

Since I'm facing the well known "end of page banding" issue on R3000 I was wondering if anybody's been able to figure out a way to change paper thickness in QTR? Apparently this is a different parameter than the "platen" setting or at least the Epson driver has two different dialogs for tuning those...

Roy, what paper thickness are you commanding to the printer by default?

I don't send any platen or thickness commands.  The idea being let the
printer figure
it out -- I think it usually does a good job.  So basically it's the
default and on printers
that allow setting it on the front panel it'll use those.
(understand none of this is publicly documented and/or defined by Epson)

Aw this kinda explains it at least for R3000: apparently the printer will decide on paper thickness based on the paper selected in the driver menu (amongst other criteria). Oh and R3000's control panel doesn't give any option other than "platen". 

I suppose there's no way we'll get more Epson papers to chose from? :-) Most likely you're sending some Epson paper code when I chose "Photo Paper"... maybe different Epson paper codes would make a difference for my problem.

Why is it that I already knew you're gonna say this? :-(
