Digital BW, The Print

I'm not sure how small you can go, but you can certainly go small enough for test strips 
and smaller than the standard paper sizes. There is a setting in the 4800 that you may 
have to override. The setting is called something like "check paper size" and the default 
setting for some reason is "on". It needs to be unchecked. If you can't find it, call Epson 
help and they will walk you to it. I would do so here, but I'm not in my studio where my 
notes about this are. If people are still having problems with this, email me 
(rgoldman@...) and I'll respond on Tuesday. If this setting is on, the following 
trick will not work.
 Here is a method for tricking the printer, assuming the "check paper size" setting is 
unchecked; there may be others. This is simple. Tell the printer that it is getting a 
standard, small paper size (I usually use 11x14). Instead of actually using this paper 
size,place a smaller sheet (I often use 8x7 strips or smaller) as far into the printer tray as 
possible and up against the right edge. In the print with preview set up uncheck "centered" 
and place the image in the upper left of the simulated  paper (0,0) in the preview. You 
don't have to make it 0,0. Just place it in a way that the image will fit onto the paper that 
you actually do feed. Don't forget to orient the print so that it prints correctly on the 
paper. The printer will assume that it is getting the paper size you specified and it will 
print only inthe upper left had corner of that space. I routinely cut 17x22 inch paper into 
six pieces and use them as test strips.
