Re: ink on the edge of a print using the 2200 and quadtone 2.4.2

2006-07-16 by ericsmithphoto

hi Roy,

That is what is weird, it is clear that the driver thinks that there is information to be 
printed, yet there cannot be. The image is exaclly 9.5 X 6.25 on enhanced matte paper 
from epson, it is after the image is completed and in the last 1/4 inch of paper before the 
paper is ejected is when the head make passes across the whole of the printer. Also the 
epson driver does not exhibit this behavior with the exact same image.

Any more information that you need?
