Yes, you are trying to do the impossible by making your 1280 print
onto the last half inch or so of your fine art paper stock. It's just
not in the realistic design parameters of that printer.

increasing issues trying to print onto 8.5 by 11 paper using the
default QTR border setting, which seems to place the image to within
1/8 inch (3-4mm) or so of the end of the sheet. Recently, particularly
with the PhotoRag papers, it seems like my print head is catching on
the corner of the paper starting at about the last half inch (12-13mm)
- leaving ugly smears of ink on the edges, crinkling the corners of
the paper, and going out of registration in the image area.
