Title: Epson 7900 printing smaller than specified in software...Suggestions?
Post by: Yvan Bedard on October 23, 2014, 10:19:14 pm

Hi,

I use (still) Capture NX2 for my D800 photos. I print with an Epson 7900.

In NX2, when I specify the Size/Resolution without resampling, the print is always printed smaller than specified.

For example, for my last print specifications, I fixed 288dpi (an exact factor of 5 with regards to Epson 1440dpi) and NX2 calculated the size as 25.56 x 17.06 inches. When I measure the resulting print, it is only 23.125 x 15.375. The margins are obviously larger than indicated automatically by NX2.

Any hint?

Thanks,

Yvan
