Re: [Digital BW] Strange happenings with the 4000 and the QuadtoneRIP

2005-03-12 by Carl Schofield

Roy,

This problem has been very infrequent with my 4000 and I can recall 
only two occasions when it has happened, both times on roll paper with 
a custom paper size.  I'll remember to document the occurrence of this 
problem with more data if it should happen again.
