   This gave me no end of grief, constantly spitting paper out with errors … until I realized the front edge of the paper roll has to be cut PERFECTLY EVEN. Otherwise, the printer thinks the paper has been fed in unevenly and spits it out. It is VERY EASY to take a pair of scissors and cut the paper slightly unevenly to free a print from the printer (and then maybe go clean it up on a paper cutter) … but what you’re left with is a front edge on the roll that’s crooked and that the printer will reject. Now it works down to the last bit of the roll. I believe not cutting properly is causing all the issues logged here. So happy I finally figured this out! The other secret is to feed the paper in all the way until it meets resistance, NOT when the printer beeps. It needs to go in WAY further than that to reliably load.

   Very pleased with this roll adapter. Reasonably priced. and easy to set up. Used Epson Canvas with no problems. Would definitely recommend it.

   When a roll is new & full, loading is easier-it’ll take the paper maybe 1 out of 3 times. But as the roll gets into it’s last 3rd, it basically becomes impossible to load it. You can spend hours trying to get it to load. & if you finally get it, that makes it even worse b/c it leads you to believe it’s POSSIBLE to load the thing the next time & … it’s not. So lots of paper and time is wasted & you can start to hate life. If you think, Oh, I’ll just leave the paper mounted and never unmount the roll, I wish it worked like that. It doesn’t-the printer will kick out the paper at random times & then you have to reload … if you can. I love the panoramic prints that come out of this printer, which makes the fact that this works so poorly even more annoying.

   I’m not sure if it’s the P900 or the roll adapter. I guess I should put most of the blame on the printer, but either way, it’s a super wonky combo. I bought the printer new from B&H a year ago and it has worked great since day 1. Just picked up the roll adapter last week – used, but mint condition. 1st attempt – worked perfect. Loaded a roll of 17 Canson BFK Rives. Used Qimage Ultimate (latest version) to send it 2 prints and for some reason the driver squashed the prints width-wise by ~50%. Really weird and I’m 98% sure I had it all set up right. So either that was Qimage or a communication error? So I tried again. No matter what I did now, I couldn’t get the roll to be properly recognized by the printer. It fed in properly, looked good in the window, but I kept getting load errors. This went on for hours. I cut another clean edge. No dice. On/Off. No dice. Inserted till the beep – no dice. Just beyond the beep – no dice. All the way till I met resistance -no dice. One time it just began spooling out all over the floor until I unplugged it. I tried a hundred times. All failures. NIGHTMARE. I even cut a piece off the roll, put it into the rear paper feeder and boom – worked fine, and still using Qimage. So then I tried another roll – of Canson Platine Fibre Rag. Just loaded the roll and bam. Right away it loaded with no errors. I tried it a few more times and the Fibre Rag seemed to load every time. I printed and it worked fine. However, I did experience the mad spooling one more time as well. Then – I went back to my pristine roll of BFK Rives and of course, the printer just won’t recognize it even though it appears to load just fine. Madness. But actually…I guess it’s gotta be the printer? Which all leads to this – I just can’t ever rely on the roll adapter working reliably.

   installed on my Epson 900, very easy to install, works great on first try! does not have a paper cutter at the end of print, but easy enough to cut by hand. Keith Cooper has a very good YouTube vid. ‘Setting up the Epson P900 roll paper unit’

   This is a large expenditure for little functionality. I hope it proves its worth soon.

   Using Epson paper, this roll adapter pretty consistently damages the paper leading the prints that are slightly defective. This wastes paper and money. Don’t buy.

   1. Difficult to load paper. The intended paper path is not compatible with the direction of the roll paper curl. 2. Not sure how all of the rollers in the adapter effect the surface of the paper, especially textured papers.
