Alignment problem in print job preview

Post by purpureus »

When the preview window first opens, the print is perfectly aligned, but after a couple of seconds, the left edge gets chopped off, and the resulting print is missing that same edge. If I try to correct it, the print comes out distorted as shown. I'm using v1.13 on Windows 10, and printing from Photoshop CC Image

Hello,

the display in PrintFab Preview is initially coarse, after a few seconds a finer preview is shown that shows the printed image & position more accurately.

Can you please send more information:

- which printer do you use?
- the paper size and orientation (portrait or landscape)
- other print settings like media type, print quality
- what did you do in the PrintFab Preview window - move the page or scale it (e.g. reduce size by moving the left top edge)?

The printfab log files might be helpful:

Windows menu -> All programs -> PrintFab -> Show log files

You can put them in a ZIP archive (e.g. compress from Windows Explorer using the right-mouse-button option "Send to ZIP archive").
Then email to mail (at) zedonet (dot) com

Printer is Epson XP-900
Paper size & orientation is A3 landscape (borderless)
Media type is set to Matte Inkjet, the paper itself is 100gsm sublimation paper
Quality is set to 1440dpi

I moved the page slightly so that there were no white edges left, right or bottom. I didn't scale it.

I've sent the log files in an email, along with this info, and put my username in the subject line.

That email address is coming back as undeliverable. I've attached the log files here instead.

Sorry, the email was misspelled :oops:
Thank you for posting the log file.
I removed your attached file - it doesnt contain private data, but to be on the safe side...

My trial runs out in about a week, will I be able to get another trial to test the fix once it's released?
