A 3 star review says it does mixed paper sizes poorly... is that true? The same review says with a mixed stack (some color), if you want to preserve the color, your B+W pages will be a bloated file size because you had to choose color mode... is that...

I retired in April 2013, about a year after I purchased this for the CPA firm where I was a staff accountant and IT manager. We encountered no difficulty with mixed sizes. We were not concerned with color because what we were doing was scanning client documents to our server in order to lessen the amount of paper copies of returns and documents we kept in storage. For our purposes, this has been a fine machine.

It highly depends on the printer. If you print at home, you might not be as happy with the color compared to having printing done professionally. This paper is coated, so colors won't be as saturated. I hope that makes sense!

Answer is "yes, but..." - meaning that the printer is quite capable of this, but your software needs to be able to select trays automatically. Using Word 2010 as an example, yes, it works fine as long as the document is set up just right. I've seen the user produce mixed-size documents no problem. You can also fill both with the same size and set the printer to auto and use up both trays (1000 sheets) without refilling. And, by the way, the user LOVES this printer - very reliable & fast.

The short answer is yes. But, some of the commercials for the more expensive scanners show multiple sheets of different sizes being scanned as a stack. While the 1300i can handle stacks, multiple sheets, it's best with a single paper size. There are adjustable guides to accommodate one size at a time. if you mix wide and narrow papers, with the guide usually set for the wide sheets, any narrow sizes in the stack can get skewed. The unit does compensate for slight skewing, but there are limits. So the long answer is scan similar sizes together adjusting the guides to accommodate the paper width. Length doesn't matter. Also, on excellent feature is that when multiple sheets are scanned together, they are put in the same file. I usually (always) scan to pdf.

I love mine. It works beautifully on white paper. Thick paper works, but it takes some muscle.

It will depend on the type of medium you are using - Gloss, Luster, Matte, Watercolor, Canvas etc - and on the saturation of your images. All colors will not be used equally. You will run out of some colors before others depending on the colors in your images. I've never tried to count pages per cartridge. You may wish to contact Epson directly if you wish to get an estimate of number of pages per cartridge. Best wishes, Maryllis

I am not able to print in B&W; if any of the colors are out, it is probably the most frustrating aspect of this printer. I've tried specifying black and white, I've tried removing the empty color cartridge, etc. it refuses to print and just shows an error that the cyan (or whatever color it may be) is out of ink.

I am not sure if I understand your question but, if I scan a 4x6 photo it saves as a 4x6.. Not a 4x6 on an 8.5x 11 page.. I hope that answers your question ( hope that makes sense)

Deck of cards are thicker than my paper. If I put two of these papers together, it should be about the right thickness as deck of cards. I am going to buy thicker paper the next time I order. My printer can print my paper with no problems. Now, just an idea, go look into Silhouette Cameo Starter Bundle Kit, this is very interesting, I think you will like to try it. I plan to buy it very soon. Take care Thomas

Since I'm not with the printer ... at father-in-law's house .. not sure. But if he was having paper jams I'm sure I'd have heard about it (see him almost every day). However, sometimes copiers are sensitive to paper direction. Try turning the stack over. In the past paper had to be put in the tray a certain side up and the ream wrapper actually had an arrow showing you this. If I find out more I'll let you know.

I notice the Epson offers few large format papers. I want to create prints of my work in the 12 X36 range. Has anyone experimented using print making or heavy water color paper with this machine?

Hey Liz, According to another commentor you are supposed to print a black/yellow page everyday and a full color once a week. Because I didn't do this then that could be why both of my printheads quit on me. Ooookay, Dave.

I have had my printer for several years now and have found that the perfect combination for OUR printing needs is to use the Black XL and the regular size for the 3 colors required. Epson sells this combination as a package. They all seem to require replacement at about the same time.We do a reasonable amount of printing - but - as a rule - not pictures or intensely colored pages. If you do - I would suggest using the XL for all 4.

I have an older Epson and was wanting to replace it for that very reason. I can't print anything when any color is out. So it says I need to replace the light blue and won't let me print anything until I do. Since I never use color, I'm guessing the blue just dried out. At any rate, I can't figure how to override that and just use black. Maybe it is just an Epson thing, as you said, to get us to buy more ink. I'm with you, I want to keep going until the ink fades and I can really see it is almost out.

It was very poor when dealing with white paper, so I can only imagine it's worse with other shades or colors, however, I would imagine it has more to do with the thickness of the paper. 20 lb paper is too thick. A thin vellum is the only thing other than tracing paper that worked for me.
