I have the Epson R2880 as well, and just recently printed an entire canvas roll. I found that it did not feed through the printer as smoothly as it should... I had to keep unwinding the roll a little bit. I suspect the paper feed is not strong enough to pull the media through when the roll tightens. When it fed through sluggishly a dark bar appeared, where it continued to apply ink on top of already applied ink. Make sense?
You mentioned your media is heavier. I suspect this may be the cause. Monitor the unwinding of the roll as it prints. When mine got tight it made audible sounds at the roll.

My 12x18's look ok, but I made a custom paper type awhile ago of 13x8 to print to a roll to make 8x10/8x12's. Today I noticed the tail end of all my 8x10's have a dark bar at the last half inch or so. Any idea what could cause such a thing? The 12x18's do not have any bar at the bottom end or on the side(which would align with where it prints on the smaller prints)
