I am trying to print wedding invitations, and the printer won't print on vellum paper. It keeps telling me feed error, and to clear the jam, when there isn't a jam. Any ideas? We need these today! Thanks, taryn
Ran into the same problem. The problem is that the printer's paper sensor sees through the vellum and therefore doesn't think any paper moved into the print position. To use vellum, fold up 1/4" edge on a standard peice of print paper and place the leading edge of the vellum under the flap. Place the paper and vellum into the printer and print. The printer will pull in the paper and the vellum together. Make the paper fold tight and straight to prevent jamming. You will need to feed one sheet at a time. Also the Epson inks take a long time to dry on vellum. I let mine dry overnight.
This did work, but I tried something that worked better. Put the blue painters tape along the edge that you feed into printer. I put 2, one-inch strips along each end. The painters tape easily removes from paper, and there isn't a mess with ink along the folded edge of paper from above solution.
The tape trick worked for me, however I had to put a two inch strip on the feed in end. If you put the tape on the back side, it will print to the edges.

Good job on the solution (folding regular paper). Worked for me. Oddly enough, the printer had NO issues when I was printing on transparencies (100% transparent) as opposed to vellum (not transparent, just translucent). I just found that to be very strange.
