After reading this:

http://www.outbackphoto.com/printinginsights/pi045/essay.html

(the section titled "12/19/2006 Paper Transport Issue")

I have set my Platen Gap to "Wider" and just leave it there.
Just now as an experiment I set the Platen Gap to "Auto" and tried printing 
from a stack of Silver Rag, and it failed by smearing the last 1cm of the 
paper. Restoring the Platen Gap to "Wider" it reverted to the behavior that 
I usually see, of just working.

I've been tempted to go flatten some of the Silver Rag in my dry mount 
press, but I haven't.
