QTR-Quadtone RIP

Tom,

I have often experienced the same problem with an Epson 2100 when using HPR
and QTR. Epson papers are less of a problem and, as you say, with the Epson
driver there is no problem. 

It seems to be caused by a slight slippage in the paper feed, possibly due
to some coating transfer from paper to drive rollers. It usually occurs
after a few prints have been successfully completed. Feeding from the rear
feed slot is always recommended for thicker papers. I have generally
overcome the problem when feeding the lighter HPR paper (188g/m^2) from the
top by encouraging the paper feed by hand with a gentle initial push. 

Regards,   John T

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] 2200 Printing Problem

QTR 2.3.10
Quad2200-UT7 ink
XP

I'm trying to run an ink density calibration but when I print the
paper will just travel all the way through the printer without
printing or it will just start to go through and stop.  The first
calibration I ran printed just fine but now the second print hangs or
goes all the way through.  Sometimes if I cancel the print job and
reboot it will work but most times the same thing happens.  I just
cancelled the job and tried to print an image and it printed just fine
so I tried to print the calbration print again and it hangs.  However
sometimes images have the problem too.  My 1280 used to do it too.  I
can't determine a pattern to the problem.  When I print with Qimage
through the Epson driver it always prints correctly.

Has this happend to anybody?

Thanks,

Tom
