JIm,
I've been using an R800 for almost a year now.  I have not had the
described problem with Epson, Ilford, Arches, some generic watercolor
paper I bought at the local art supply house, or Kirkland(Costco)
papers.  I suspect that the paper you were using was not designed for
the Ultrachrome inks.

Once you change papers I think that you will like the printer very
much with the exception that you will always run out of the only ink
cart that you don't have.  :)
