Digital BW, The Print

Frank,

print a strip with 0,0 coordinates (i.e. at the edge of the sheet) then measure 
where you want to print the next one, enter those coordinates (mostly distance 
from top) and keep going that way. It's faster if you print horizontal strips (i.e. 
along the direction of head travel) than vertical.

Of course, don't forget that if you have good profiles, you can use cheap EAM 
to proof and then do the final on the fancy Hahnemuhle sheets.
