Paper+Thickness

=What paper thickness can be used with each paper path?=


 * Printer || Cassette || Top-Loading Manual Feed || Front-Loading Manual Feed || Top-Loading Roll Feed ||
 * iPF5000 || 3.2-11.8 mil || 3.2-19.6 mil || 19.6-59.0 mil || 2.8-31.4 mil ||
 * iPF5100 || 3.2-11.8 mil || 3.2-19.6 mil || 19.6-59.0 mil || 3.2-31.4 mil ||
 * iPF6100 ||  || 3.2-19.6 mil || 19.6-59.0 mil || 3.1-31.4 mil ||
 * iPF6300 ||  || 2.8-31.4 mil || 19.6-59.0 mil || 2.8-31.4 mil ||
 * iPF8100 ||  || 2.8-31.4 mil || ? || 2.8-31.4 mil ||
 * iPF8300 ||  || 2.8-31.4 mil || ? || 2.8-31.4 mil ||


 * Note:** There seems to be conflicting experience about the thickness of papers that can be fed from the Cassette outside of the stated specifications:


 * Michael Reichmann of the Luminous Landscape says "I feed Hahnemuhle and Entrada 308 g papers from the Cassette all the time, with no problems." (These papers are 19 and 22 mil thickness, respectively).
 * A contrary view is expressed by another poster: "What is more interesting is that we have moved from the European Hahnemuehle papers to American Crane papers --for a couple of reasons. The Hahnemuehle papers don't want to load from the cassette. That goes for the satin, photorag and the A5 cards. The Crane Museo Fine Art paper loads without a hitch and also demonstrates considerable increase in gamut over the European paper."


 * Note 2:** Only a few papers are out of spec for the top tray. Of those, papers that are only slightly out of spec (e.g., Hahnemuhle Museum Etching and Crane Museo Max, both at 23.0-23.6 mil) have been reported to feed from the top tray rather than requiring use of the front loading slot. Thicker papers (e.g., Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 460, 27.5 mil thickness) will probably require the front loading slot.
