I also like the Wells River for black and white...very nice paper, but a pain to work with..Example: the steps to printing with Wells River are: 1. Take out the paper and brush it both sides with a reasonably stiff brush. 2. Load a piece of 3/16ths foam core board in the printer cut to the size of the paper you are printing on. 3. Load the paper in the printer...be prepared to hand nudge it to keep it straight as it loads...gentle with the hand nudging. 4. Every third or forth sheet, release the rubber feet that feed the paper on the Epson 3000. Clean them with a Q-tip that you have wetted with a mixture of water and small amount of Ivory Liquid soap. After cleaning with a Q-tip, put the feet back in place and run a feeding or two on each foot while you hold a piece of 400 grit sand paper to finish the cleaning...don't let the sand paper feed, just let the feed rub on it. The above was determined by working with the local Epson tech. Seems to work well. The paper is a pain, but it really looks great if you go through all the trouble. - --- Tina Manley <images@InfoAve.Net> wrote: > At 02:03 AM 7/5/02 -0700, you wrote: > > >Tina, > > > >You must use good paper, too.
