R28880
« on: December 21, 2008, 11:45:42 am »

After working for years on a Canon printer I just got an Epson R2880.
There have some questions arisen:

Is there a way to print on non-standard/ self-cut paper sizes?
Everytime I chose one the printer-driver will switch to roll fed/ manual fed paper, wich would be o.k. if it wasn't for the borders
(e.g. paper size: 16.5x24 cm, print size 21x15.7cm, printing starst only after 5.8cm, not all the pictures gets printed)

Wich paper should I select in the driver for Tetenal Archival Matt?
Tetenal unfortunately doesn't list this printer yet on their settings list.
I made two differnent profiles (eye one photo):
once the printer driver was set on Epson Archival Matte once on Epson Photo Quality InkJet.
Both profiles give more or less the same print but unfortunately neither a very good one.

Is there anybody using ImagePrint with this printer? Is it worth it?
I wanted to try it out but version 7 trial doesn't support the R2880. Version 7 build 1.0.3.0 supports the printer but doesn't run as trial.

Thanks for any help!

You can't print borderless to non standard paper sizes (ie can't print borderless on custom paper sizes).

Does Tetenal list any settings for the 2400?  In terms of paper selection, it would likely be the same for the 2880.
