I'll start this discussion by saying I've been very happy with my Epson 3800 and ImagePrint 7 setup. However, it is now at my local Epson authorized service center. It quit feeding paper. Over the last few months I've printed about 200 prints on Moab Entrada paper (8x10 and 17x22) and 600 prints on Moab Lasal cards for a client that specified these papers. In talking with one of the service techs, I was told the paper used can cause premature wear on the feed rollers since Moab Entrada, in sheet form, and Lasal card stock is a double sided paper and thus the back of the sheet is not as smooth as non-double sided paper, thus the wear on the feed mechanism.
Has anyone had similar experience or can confirm the issue with specific papers causing wear. This is not meant to be a thread on feed issues with the 3800 as mine has worked flawlessly for two years ( after a warranty sensor replacement in the beginning). My question only relates to issues with wear caused by paper choice.
