I wouldn't use sheets, get a roll.  I use a 13" wide roll, and I am going to start keeping a 17" wide on hand for times it's needed.

..Im still working with a 1400, but a larger one is in the plan for 2013, and Im trying to narrow down my options. One factor, for me and my space, is the sheet size that the paper tray can accomodate.

..so will the tray hold some sheets of 17X??, or even 13x19? And in your case Brad, why use the roll? Or better yet, why NOT use the tray?
Thanks TSB gang!!

because with the roll I can cut them to length, I save between 2-8 inches every film I print.  It saves time with less grouping.  I used to use sheets in the 3000, I am glad to be using a roll feed now..less babysitting.

are all you guys with the 4800 using the waterproof film or the standard film with the dye inks? We are moving up from a 1400 to a 4800. I really like the refill carts I got from ebay for my 1400's. I may snag some for the 4800 as well. I have to try the two head / cleaning solution thing, great idea.

...not to steer this off too far from the original question, but for those of you that have the 4880 or 4900, what is the largest film size you can use in the paper tray? I have been trying to google this, but its not in any specs I can find.

...I also read that I could make this (or any printer) wireless, through use of an additional router. Anyone do this?
That`s me. Our 4880 is wireless, well it`s hooked up to our airport over which it`s receives all the data coming from our Wasatch RIP. The biggest sheets the tray can hold is A2 which is 23.4" x 16.5".
