For the thick papers like Epson Velvet (a GORGEOUS and not terribly expensive paper if you want a matte surface fine art paper) and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk, you have to load the paper in the front tray, not the regular sheet feeder on top of the printer, and you have to set the platen gap to WIDE. If you do those things, you?ll never have issues with thick papers. Compared to the Epson r2400 I used for many years before getting the P800, the P800 has deeper blacks, a much wider color gamut (reproduces saturated blues much better), the prints have less metamerism, there's virtually no bronzing effect on glossy papers, and of course you can make larger prints. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook On 4/15/18, 12:23 PM, "LUG on behalf of Tina Manley via LUG" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: >PESO: > >Does anybody have any experience with this printer??
