However, it was all one sheet at a time, so no advantage in doing it that way. The paper path for the rear sheet feeder is straighter and the paper seems to be located more precisely, that is should feed exactly straight. I encountered print head strikes on 12x18 prints on 13x19 paper (through the rear feeder). It is vital to curl back the corners and edges well before insertion. Also you need a wider than normal platen gap. 190gsm is thin paper compared to most of the premium types. Only one variant of the "William Turner" is 190gsm, most of the Hahnemuhle range is thicker. My every day standard Fuji Premium glossy is 235gsm. It feeds fine from a stack in the regular feeder.

The one sheet at a time thing is not working out for me. ??? Inquiring inkjetters want to know. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com I see GSM means grams per square meter which would indicate bigger paper could be thinner and be the same gsm. http://www.inkjetart.com/weight.html Also means Global Shared Memory General Support Maintenance (that's me!)
