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

2007-12-05 by E Neilsen

If your images are only 7x8 and they are printing on a 13x9 paper, why not
change to a 12.5x 8.5 paper size and see if that helps.  Or try this load
the roll as a sheet, then change to roll with cutter on after the sheet is
in. I am with Roy here in that it sounds like a hardware issue. 

 

Good luck

Hi Eric

My files are 360 dpi and it happens with all images printed on the
roll but not with images printed on a sheet. I have the cutter on all
the time and the only thing I can think of trying would be to print
with the cutter off. But according to your experience this would make
matters worse rather than better.

I will report any hopefully positive results as soon as I know something.
