I created a new preset with wide platen gap, and set media thickness to 0.8 mm as advised.
Not sure it was a great idea, but I also cut several sheets from what remained of the roll, and put them in my de-curler for an hour. I couldn't get one of these cut sheets to feed through the front fine art feeder, because the leading edge still had a bit of curl. So I fed it from the back as if it were roll paper.
The first print stopped an inch or two from completion. The led screen still said "printing", but nothing was happening. Error messages, but it was unclear what the error was (!). One ink cartridge read low but not out. I tried to change it, but got an "invalid command". In retrospect, I'm wondering if the printer thought the roll was finished.
So I ejected the incomplete print, and started over. The sheet was 36" long, but in the settings I made it 30" (image 25"). This time it printed successfully. No head strikes, and proper borders on both ends.
I still have perhaps 10 feet on that roll, and am in a quandary about what to do with it. I have to get the rest of my upcoming show printed, and have a fresh roll in waiting, which I believe will work fine. My de-curler will only handle about 5'. Ideas?
