Re: Print layout

2012-05-21 by Keith

Thanks for getting back to me Roy. I know it's a pain in the neck, but there has to be a logical way. i thought about doing cut sheets, but the drawback to that is I have to feed them one at a time. The paper, Canson Baryta, Photographique, has such a slick backside, that the printer doesn't want to pick it up. The paper has to be face down in the tray. It's the only paper that I've had this problem with.
As to your comment "just select 4 copies centered." Again, is that centered on the paper or "in the printable area" which would not be centered on the sheet.
What I had done in previous attempts is select "Centered" at both Scaled to fit and at 100%.
