Re: [Digital BW] (Solved) Printing with Epson 2200 on Kodak Pro Lustre paper

2004-10-08 by Al Forist

Greetings,

I had similar problems, though with different paper sizes. After 
trying to think it through, I came to the conclusion that I should 
try printing (TO FILE) the same size as the image, not the paper 
size.

In my case I was trying to print, through Qimage and QTR RIP, 2 
5x7's on letter size paper. When I printed a "letter size" page from 
Qimage to a file and then printed that through the QTR Rip, I was 
getting part of the image on each of two pages.

After changing the output size to 7x10 (the actual size of my image) 
all went well.

I hope this goes to your question.

Regards,
Al
