Darron, I really liked the artwork you posted with your last message, but don't understand how that relates to how the Canon would handle cut sheets. Aren't you just printing a digital file? I have the 8300, and just printed a portfolio of 50 prints on letter-size Canson Platine on it. I have smaller Epson printers, but they have been giving me trouble with ink smears in the margins on this heavier paper, and the 8300 printed these without any problems at all. You feed the sheet from the front, at a very comfortable height on the printer, and line the right hand edge of the sheet against two red lines on the printer. You need to be precise about getting that alignment right. Out of 50 sheets, I think I had only one that was a little off, which I re-printed. You need to baby-sit the printing process. I had the printer set for the highest quality options (except I didn't use one-directional printing), and each sheet for a 7.5 x 10 inch print took about 7 minutes. For that size print, I think it clipped a little bit from the long dimension because of the larger trailing margin that is a minimum on the Canon. So you want to be there when one print is finished to feed in the next sheet, if you are trying to get the job done in any limited time frame. Nicely, however, the printer did not eject the print when it was done, but held it by the tiniest amount on the trailing edge, so it didn't fall into the bin at the bottom of the printer. I wouldn't want to do this all day every day, but for the occasional project I found it not at all bad. Helps to have a TV nearby. --Barbara
