Hi Guys,
I have just made my first print with 17" roll paper on my Epson SC-P800 having previously just used standard cut sheet sizes.
I set my roll paper size to 431.8mm (17") x 594mm, the same length as A2, so it would fit in my A2 storage boxes.
The image I printed was in landscape so I set the leading edge border to 10mm to be as economical as I could with the paper. Strangely, however, the image didn't start printing until 60mm of paper had been fed and the cut-off line was printed at 25mm after the image had completed. This meant that the overall paper feed was 659mm (approx. 26").
This is frustrating as I need to make a cut to both the leading and trailing edges without guidelines and have wasted 65mm (2.6") per print or, terrifyingly, 1308mm (51 1/2") with my 12m roll of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag
Does anyone know why this has happened and how I can adjust a setting to cure it?
I suppose that knowing this I could reduce my leading edge border to zero, which I presume would give an actual figure of 15mm, and not print a cut-line on the trailing edge but I would prefer to find a better solution.
Thanks ...Sweep
