QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hey Greg,

Roy's comments struck a memory of when this happened with my 7600 long ago. Be absolutely sure it's not set to roll on the printer itself. I'm not sure about the 7880, but on the 7600 it was easy to inadvertently switch to roll on the printer panel even though I never used rolls. This would always mess up any positioning via software.

I don't have any paper size selections with "Centered" in the name for my current printers, and don't recall any for the 7600, so I don't know what to say about that. I make my own custom sizes anyhow, even for the standard ones, so maybe try making a custom 8.5 x 11 setup with equal margins. Resizing in PT shouldn't matter unless maybe somehow it thinks your canvas size is larger than the paper size, but even then you should see it in the preview, and get a warning about clipping. 

Check your printer panel settings.

Cheers,
Keith

I even installed it on another computer and got the same problem. It seems to push it down about 2 inches more than it should from the top. I will take a photo of one, but it literally stops halfway through the image. I was able to get some images to print using 11x17 inch paper and centering it. I am using an Epson 7880.
