1/ Try "fanning" your paper before laying it in place.
	Hold both ends of the paper stack,
	bring both hands closer, at an angle: this forces all sheets
	to let air in between and to undo any
	trim junk at the sheet borders.
	Reverse the stack, do the same thing.
	This old trick could help a bit.

2/ If you're using a Mac, as I currently do,
	Epson's Mac drivers are much less performant,
	to a level of frustration with the darn thing,
	NOT predictable, not dependable, especially at 720 DPI,
	than the Windows ones. I've used both:
	hated Windows enough to justify loosing $625 to get
	rid of that Dell XPS200s in less than three weeks time,
	but liked the way PCs use the Epson Stylus Color Pro
	MUCH better.

3/ You might also consider getting 24 # inkjet paper
	rather than the usual 20 #.
	The "feel" is much more professional, too.
