Make sure you&#8217;re using it and you&#8217;ve specified this in the printer driver. You may still need to adjust the Platen Gap to a wider setting for thicker media (like Epson Exhibition Fiber Fine Art Paper). Many thicker papers will tend to jam when feeding them in bulk. You may need to feed them one at a time. Sometimes, you even need to give the paper a gentle nudge when the printer first feeds it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/37767\/printing-tips\/\">Read more Printing Tips.<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"..\/..\/workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more in my Fine Art Digital Printing Workshops.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Problem The paper won&#8217;t feed.
