Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR 2.7.3 on windows and R3000 front loading

2012-11-19 by Roy Harrington

QTR has never supported borderless printing on any printer in any slot.
 The (Borderless,Retain
> Size)) stuff is Epson paper descriptions so work only with Epson driver.

Ciprian's issue as far as I know and am looking into is using the front
loader slot
for photo or matte paper.  But borderless is not on the list.
