Wide format Epson printers wasting paper - PhotoCamel

Montec · 07-30-2008

Is there a work around to get Epson 7880's to not cut off a three inch strip of paper before every print job?

I just went through a couple rolls of 100' Epson Premium Lustre paper and I now have a huge pile of these 3" strips. I am estimating 10 feet x 24 wide of wasted Premium Lustre paper...not cheap!

Start of with setting the roll paper margin to 15mm. I have a 7800 and can find this setting on the printers setup menu and doubt there would be much difference in interfaces between the two.
You'll get roughly a 1/2" to 1" strip top and bottom afterwards.

Thanks for the info.
I should have mentioned I am using the ImagePrint RIP.
