Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Wasting paper on a roll

2007-12-02 by Roy Harrington

Hi Juraj,
(1) should be all that is necessary.

Are you using custom page sizes?  Could you have the width & length
reversed?
Width is across the paper as it comes out of the printer (direction of ink
head travel).
Length is along the feed direction.
Are you doing Landscape (rotates image) or Portrait?
Another possibility is if a paper size is too small it reverts to default
which is Letter.
The minimum size is 7x7inches on the 4800 I'm pretty sure.
