QTR-Quadtone RIP

Juraj, There have been posts on other list mentioning a problem with the CS3
upgrade that is causing a problem with roll paper. I am headed in to the
studio shortly and will try your issues out and see what happens. I run a
4800 and can use QTR to drive an image, I also have CS3.

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

 

Hi Roy

Thank you for your fast responses!! I am printing on a 13" roll in
portrait orientation. My paper size is custom: width = 13" (the whole
width of the roll) and length = 9,45". So as far as I can see I am not
using too small a paper size and the orientation is correct too.

I also tried to use the "banner roll" setting instead of "roll" with
the option "save paper" turned on (in the WINDOWS settings for the
4800 printer) to no avail.
