Roy That´s exactly the numbers the Epson driver gives me. Problem is: I can send any file to the Epson driver and it takes care of any size problem. QTR doesn´t. QTR prints something that is wrong. And in the process it makes we spend paper and ink. Is it possible to use some defensive program and avoid this? Something like "i´m not going to pring this because it´s too big"? -----Original Message----- From: Roy Harrington [mailto:roy@...] Sent: segunda-feira, 16 de agosto de 2004 00:50 To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Digital BW] QTRbeta3 and Win2K....image problem The problem is that the printer is not capable of printing an entire sheet. The bottom margin is especially problematic because once the paper leaves the back roller the quality drops down considerably. So the way things are now, for sheet paper, is that you have to leave at least 1/8 inch all around and you really ought to leave at least ..55 inches on the bottom for best quality. Max image on a 13x19 sheet would be 12.75 x 18.75 and if you want centered, best quality limit yourself to 12.75 x 17.89 (btw, I think you'll find the same values in the Epson driver).
