Can't get full page

Post by Gregory Bigger »

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use Printfab on my Epson StylusPhoto 1280. I have the newest version and have tried printing from Quark 6, Quark 7 and Illustrator CS2 but the printer only prints through to 9.125 inches from the right side even though this cuts off the artwork. I've followed the instructions from the guide in using the same PPD from the print menus and page setup menus. I've doublechecked paper sizes in the setup. I've experimented with the settings and uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. I can only print a proper Super B page (13"x19") if I create a high-res pdf from quark and print through Acrobat using the regular Epson 1280 driver (no native ps interpreter). The printer prints the full sheet. The postscript interpretation is not great, though. Printfab's is much better.
I'd welcome any suggestions or thoughts on what I may be missing.
Thanks,
Greg

Hello,

the "PrintFab Home" version only prints up to 9inches wide - maybe this is the reason.

Thanks, I finally clued in late last night! I've ordered the upgrade to pro and am waiting on the key.
