Limited paper thickness for consumer Epsons?

Hello,

I know that the higher end Epsons, such as the R2400, will accept fine art papers, that have a greater thickness. Does anyone know if the lower end Epsons like the R260, R800 and others will accept thicker art papers, such as water color? What are the limitations in regards to thickness with these printers? I have in mind something like Fabriano 140lb & 300lb papers.

Regards,
Martin
 
2400 is something like 1.2mm thick. Chris at Inkjet Art has made an adapter and even run CD's through their 2400.

Thanks Greg for reminding me about the CDs. While I'm not looking to do that, I recalled most the lower end Epsons did have CD trays for printing. So perhaps that looks somewhat promising.

I'll keep this in mind. I may shoot an email over the tech support or give them a ring Monday.
 

Thanks Ted... I'll take your advice and send them an email.
