P800 printer feed issues

P800 printer feed issues

2019-01-24 by dthmpsn641@...

I am having a problem with printing on the front sheet feed of my P800 onto pictorial OHP film for digital negs. Everything loads as expected however the film runs through the printer without printing.


I have added the curve txt. profile I have installed. Could anyone advise me on how to solve the problem?


Thanks.

Are you placing the OHP on a posterboard? Thats what the front feed is made for...

Thanks for the response however I have the same problem irrespective of wither I'm using front feed or top feed. When I change the printer back to the Epson driver, it prints as normal. The problem only occurs when using QTR.
Any further suggestions?

I have tried both the poster board and fine art setting, both have the same issue. The Pictorico feeds through but the print head does not engage.

I have had this problem as well, using the front feed. I found that it was intermittent though. Not sure why. I usually just turned the media around to start printing from the opposite side and it seemed to fix the issue, but I fear that was just luck. I'm keen to know the solution to this problem as well.
