QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi,
I just printed an image that was supposed to be 765mm wide. It turned out to be 768mm at the top and 764mm at the bottom.

Once in the frame this anomaly was glaringly obvious because I'd left a 1cm gap around the picture and so the right hand edge was not parallel with the matt.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how I could rectify this problem?

thanks,
Richard

Richard,
When you say top and bottom, are you printing in portrait or
landscape? What printer and did you remove pizza wheels? I had this
problem with an Epson 3000 with the wheels removed, which pulled
bigger prints off to one side as they fed through.

Hi Steve,
I'm using a 2100 and printing landscape mostly. That long image I mentioned was on roll paper but I've had the same thing with A4 paper.

I haven't removed the wheels. The top and bottom of the landscape print look parallel with the paper edge.

thanks,
Richard

Richard,
Well, I don't have much experience with this other that what happened
with my 3000. It sounds kind of like a feed problem, but then you'd
expect it to be skewed in a couple of directions. On my 3000 they
actually came out kind of warped looking.
