Does anyone have a recommendation for where to set the platen gap for Ilford Gold on the Epson 3800?

I set it to wider. On normal, I experienced a few head strikes.
Have a look at Eric Chan's website ([a href=\"http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/faq.html]here[/url]).

My experience is the same as Francois with both A3+ and A2.

I use the rear manual feeder, and do not change the platen with this paper. For up to 13"x19" works OK. Have not tried larger sizes with this paper.
