Digital BW, The Print

David, Some of the Epson printers will use the white strip to "see" the edge
of the transparency. Most problems that I have seen with it have been in NOT
using 2880, or RPM, or what ever setting gives you the highest quality
output. Drying time will also need to be looked at as possible fixes for
banding issues with that material. It always help to say what printer and
setting you are using when looking for help with those issues.

Subject: [Digital BW] problems printing on transparency film on my Epson
R2400

 

I'm trying to print transparencies, but they always end up 
inconsistent, often with lines or bands in them. I print the same 
images on paper and don't have this problem. 

I'm guessing it may be how the printer "grabs" the sheets, and maybe 
with the transparency film there is some wiggle, so printing is 
inconsistent. ??? 

I've seen some transparency films that come with a white paper strip 
down the side. I wonder if this is to help the printer grab onto the 
film? 

Any suggestions for how to deal with this? And how do people make 
digital transparencies with this problem? 

Best, David.
