Epson does not officially support roll printing for the L3251 printer, so roll printing is an experimental feature and there are at least the following limitations:

1. end of roll is not detected

2. there is no way to unload roll paper except cutting behind the printer and feeding through

3. according to customer reports, paper roll may be sporadically ejected after some prints

I can send you an experimental driver file to enable roll mode for the PrintFab Epson L3200 series driver - please let me know if you are interested.

Hello Ammar, the gap is caused by the printhead layout - the black nozzles go from top to bottom of the printhead, but the colors cyan, magenta, yellow are only one third of the height and arranged top-to-bottom. Possible solutions would be
  • use a continuous label roll and cut it as necessary
  • make the single page longer and print e.g. 10 lables on one page, so there is a gap only every 10 labels

The cheapest printer that officially supports roll printing is the Epson SureColor SC-P700.
If you are looking for an ecotank printer that officially supports roll printing, it is the Epson SureColor SC-T3100X which is a large format printer.

If you need a cheap ecotank printer which can print on roll in combination with PrintFab and want to minimize the gap size, you need a model with a print head that has all colors next to each other like the Epson L8050 or EcoTank ET-8500 (identical to L8160).

We primarily develop drivers for inkjet printers and I don't know if any HP color laser printers capable of roll printing. Of course there are companies that specialize in this, e.g. Neuralabel (www.neuralabel.com).

Hello dear

As u said there are some problems with this trial driver
Like detecting the roll start. And stop after print

And the same time can not print full roll without gaps

But as I see it's the only choice for me

What version I need to buy to run the software
I hope it not the expensive version too :)

The roll printing option is included in any PrintFab version. Version differences are explained on the following web page:
