4800 paper loading - User feedback requested

2005-07-14 by James Haney

Last year I did a brisk business making holiday cards for portrait 
customers printing Entrada 5x7 pre-folded stock (188 gsm as I recall) 
as well as letter sized sheets cut in thirds to fit in #10 envelopes.

I used QTR with OEM inks in an Epson 2200.

This was all well and good, except, no tweaking or creative solution 
could be found to get a stack of sheets to automatically load the 
relatively thick stock.

This year I am contemplating getting a 4800 to do the job but I want to 
hear from actual users if the printer is capable of printing a stack of 
188 gsm paper unassisted. I will be around to keep an eye on things, I 
just don't ever want to go back to setting a timer to be at the printer 
at the exact instant required to "ooch" each sheet into the feed 
rollers again.

Let me know.
