epson 7900 roll-paper waste in PS....fix?

2010-02-26 by sagaface

Hi all,

Since I got my 7900 I no longer use sheets but rolls, and I print in Lightroom which lets me arrange images on custom paper sizes so I don't waste paper. I don't have Qimage becuase I'm on a mac, and I don't have any other RIP such as Image Print, etc.

I have to print out some color tests strips to get some profiles made (from my super duper kind friend you know who you are), and they must be printed from Photoshop, which, as I mentioned above, I no longer do, party because of the incredible paper waste.

My question: how the heck do I do this without scads of stupidly expensive paper being wasted on both the front and back end? I did one print and almost fainted at the amount of paper spooling out before it would cut. I tried printing with the auto paper cutter both on and in manual mode...same deal.


Thank you,
Sarah
