I've been printing on Moab Entrada paper for years now. I love their 300 gsm paper. But lately our trusty Epson Pro Stylus 4800 workhorse printer has decided it doesn't like this paper. It won't feed it from the paper tray. And the manual feed from behind is a hit or miss at best. I've widened the platten gap as wide as it will go but it still doesn't want to feed the paper.
Damn annoying!
Is anyone else using this printer/paper combo with success? If so please do share how your printer is configured!!
Hi Rick: I too use Moab Entrada Rag 300 gsm paper. I'm running an Epson 3880 and fortunately have not had any issues. My platen gap is set to wide and I always use the rear paper feed. I have a friend using a 2880 that had a similar paper loading problem using 300 Entrada. We solved his with a very careful paper feed pushing the paper firmly against the left edge (left from the perspective of behind the printer). Setting his platen gap to wide and that paper load technique seemed to make his printer happy again. Probably doesn't help you much as it sounds like you've done all of that... Hope someone else can chime in. That paper is really nice.
