Re: Microbanding with 4800, any ways to adjust?

2007-01-16 by michael_mutmansky

This approach seems to work, so I think that QTR must be sending a simple 'advance' 
command to the printer, rather than 'advance 0.01 mm' or whatever the dimension would 
be.

However, I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this, because I now have to 
remember to activate the custom paper setting in the printer for all of the diginegs.
