Title: Ilford Smooth Pearl or Gloss Board on a Z3100
Post by: MoreThanWords on May 14, 2008, 10:32:32 am

Hello,

is there anyone who has tried this thick paper (it's more like pre-mounted paper as it's 1.3 millimeters thick) paper with a Z3100.

Looks interesting for smaller prints since you don't have to mount them anymore.

I'm just wondering if the Z3100 will print (the paper being so thick) and if anyone has had any results with it.

Thanks for letting me know.

Piet

Tech specs say 0.8mm and if you go further it's going to stress the wheels a lot. Since I assume this is flat paper there is little risk of a head strike other than the edge of the media.
We have tried many media types thicker than 0.8 and were successful most of the time feeding through the roll feed slot.

Try it but very cautiously.
