Brian - I use roll paper in my 4800.  ImagePrint will solve the paper 
waste problem but it's expensive.  There is absolutely no waste with 
IP. I love their profiles, too.  As for the curl, humidity seems to 
help.  It's humid here in SC and I just put mine under a 
print-flattening platten.  I'm not using Epson, though.  I'm using 
Crane Museo Silver Rag.

Good luck!
