Chris:

I have printed on Mulberry (bleached and unbleached) using an Iris 3047 with
great success. In fact, I have a client who liked the results so much that
he ordered 60 prints on bleached Mulberry. While I haven't tried it with an
Epson printer, I suspect that as long as the paper can be transported though
the printer without problem and some type of ink-limiting can be achieved
you should get decent results.
