Just be careful when loading Ultra Smooth Fine Art paper, the printer seems to have a particular problem with it. One suggestion was that the CD printing lid occasionally came slightly ajar, causing miscommunication between the printer and the computer. A gentle pressure applied at the center was to solve the problem. Well, it did not, Ultra Smooth Fine Art paper is a little stiffer than Velvet or Luster and my hunch is that the paper feed mechanism has difficulty pushing it through. Oh, yes, we were feeding it from the back via manual-roll feed option. I used mostly FA Velvet and never had any problem feeding that paper the same way, no miscommunication and misfeed.Cemal Regarding the Epson 2880 printer, I agree that it produces excellent prints.

It was quite a learning experience for me to listen to and work with J. P. and Mac and advance my understanding of how my photography is evolving and how to produce fine art, high quality prints. BTW, we had free access to Epson’s new K3 2880 (13 inch) printer and I found it to produce excellent prints in an efficient, quiet manner. In addition the J. P. and Mac (and their wonderful team) I had the privilege of occupying a workstation directly behind Cemal and got to observe his exquisite work and his thoughtful workflow. He was also kind to answer many of my questions, share his expertise and take time to view a few of my prints. I believe our photographic interest are similar in such ways as the shape, form and tone of plants and the fine textures of wood and grain. A terrific learning experience and one I highly recommend.
