You are putting a much heavier grade of paper through the printer than
what Espon says is "official". In rough numbers, the paper you are
putting through is twice as thick as was allowed.
If I were Epson, I would claim that you abused the printer by excess
thickness of paper and voided the warranty.
Because, you did exceed the recommended paper thickness limits (weight
and thickness are about the same, except for very porous paper where
very porous paper of 90 gm/squaremeter can be thicker than a denser
(less porous)100 gm/squaremeter paper.
