problem using the ...A4 art paper margin 30 setting

« on: November 26, 2017, 11:37:12 PM »

I'm using a thick Hahnenmuhle paper,and I'm being told to use the above setting,. Which I am doing.
I'm using the manual feed, but when the print comes out,its..with the top left top,& bottom, with a 1 inch border, the right border is..1/2 inch
I've checked, double checked my setting in Qimage ,but no improvement
I'm using 8&1/2 x 11. paper,& loading with ..manual feed?

Any help,suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
Mike

Mike,
Set the paper to A4 size, not 8.5 x 11.
A4 size gives within 3 hundredths of an inch, all even margins with 3:2 image.

PS Mike,
Use the rear tray feed. When you select a paper that needs the Manual Feed, it will switch to manual feed all by itself. Look at Qimage Printers and Settings. If it shows REAR TRAY (normal feed), use that.

Mike,
You will have to better than that.
Paper size?
Print size?
Crop on or off?
Placement mode?
Dimensions of the image X pixels x Y pixels?
Portrait or Lamdscape?

If you still have trouble, call me. You have my number

so, I think the error was mine
don't know ,if I want to use the A4{30mm,margin} setting ,I have to wait for Qimage to tell me to change it?
Anyway,I'm back to using paper that feeds through the rear feeder{luster,semi-gloss..etc.}
If I use any fine art, I'll change it if told to.

Mike,
Let me be clearer.
I have three screen snaps attached.
I set up selecting Fine Art paper1..... Canon reads rear tray feed.
I set up selecting a different heavy paper, Fine Art 2. Canon reads, Rear Tray.
I set up using Fine Art Museum paper and the Canon driver switches to Manual Feed all by itself, no help required.

Man,you are the best

I'd prefer not to use the manual feed, if I can get away with it, my desktop set space, is extremely confining so.. Huh?

If I had a brain, I'd just stick with my new favorite RR palo duro soft-gloss rag,but I have all this pld paper laying around,and I'd like to try it again.
The results form my Pro-10,& pro-100 are perfect

Thanks again Fred,
MikeS
