Qimage and Z3100

When printing 3 8x10's on a 24" roll is there a way that there shouldn't be any margins between the images?

Hi Barry,

You'll have to specify an output size for the 3 images combined. No margins between images is selected by the "optimal print placement" button, second option. As layout you can specify the 3x1 (or 1x3) arrangement under "Custom sizes". Your issue may then be with the possibility of the print driver to print borderless. I'm not familiar with the specific limitations of the HP driver to select borderless printing.

Cheers,
Bart

When you say " Specify an output size" are you referring to the page size? Which I do have set to 10"x24".

The maximum print page size as specified in the Z's driver will be 24" max if it has to fit the roll width. It shows in Qimage as 24" minus 0.4" for print margins. Give or take a mm as the roll width may have been measured a bit smaller by the printer than the roll specs say. If it is a gloss paper on roll you can use borderless and the print margins shouldn't be there. Be aware that you need to use landscape mode in the driver if the print length is less than the width. Watch the lay-out of the print page on the roll when you make the size/position settings in the driver.
