QTR-Quadtone RIP

I am printing multiple images on a single sheet of 17x22 paper.  The 
images do not extend to the full length or width of the paper.

If "Scale to Fit" is checked, the resulting percentage defaults to 99% 
and cannot be changed.  However, the printed images are slightly 
smaller than they should be.  For example, a 3" x 4-1/2" image is about 
1/16 inch shorter than the actual input size.

If I uncheck "Scale to Fit" and set the percentage to 100%, I get an 
error message saying the "Image Does Not Fit".  Printing the image, in 
spite of the error message, results in a full 3 x 4-1/2 image.

Why do I get the error message?

I'm printing on an Epson 3800.

Thanks,

Fred

It sure sounds like your image must be bigger than fits.See how big it is.
 You need to have 1/8 margin all around so image
size must be <= 16.75 x 21.75

Hi Roy,

I think I see the problem.  I am creating a print file through 
Qimage.  I specify the paper size (17x22) and then place multiple 
small images on the page.  Then I "Print to File".  The resulting 
file is the one I load into QTR where I set the paper size to 17x22. 
So, I guess QTR assumes I'm trying to print a 17x22 image (which it 
is) on a 17x22 sheet of paper and says "Image Does Not Fit".

Unless there is some setting in Qimage or QTR that overcomes this 
problem, I suppose I can simply ignore the "Image Does Not Fit" 
message and go ahead and print.  Is that correct???

Fred
