I haven't been printing much lately, but I have been doing updates to Qimage on a regular basis. I have an Epson P400 printer and I always print on 8 1/2 X 11 Glossy photo paper. Mostly I print 4 X 6 or 5 X 7 and occasionally 4 X 7.111 which is 16 X 9 format. Yesterday when I printed some 4 X 6 prints, I noticed the top edge of the prints had a redish stripe across the entire page. I tried printing with a couple of other programs and got no stripe. The other print programs started the prints a little farther down the page.
So I went into Qimage Edit, Preferences, Print & page formatting, page margins. The Top Fixed margin is 0.1167 as was the Total. I changed the Total to 0.25 and the problem disappeared.
I think your default top margin is a little low for the Epson P400.
Hi Mr Pratt,
I assume the P 400 is the same as SC P400?
What size paper did you tell your printer you were using, still 8.5 x 11?
What size prints were giving you the problem.?
How many per page and how placed?
** The Margin adjustments should really be left at default. Those are for specialty pages like a book page.
Please answer the above questions, or set your driver to Default settings using the icon shown in the screen snap attached.
I suspect that should fix it.
Also reset the margins to default.
Let me know please
Fred
Yes, I have the SC P400 printer, I am using 8 1/2 X 11 photo paper and I told the printer 8 1/2 X 11.
I have the problem when printing anything, single or multiple pages. It fails on the top two 4 X 6 prints, on the top 5 X 7 print or on both 4 X 7.111 prints. I let qimage place the pictures. The redish strip is on any picture at the top of the 8 1/2 X 11 page. The stripe is about 1/8 inch wide. The picture still appears in that 1/8 inch but it has a redish tint to it.
I have had this printer for about a year now but this problem just showed up recently. Prior to this I had no problem printing anything. I know Epson has updated the driver a few times since I got the printer. Maybe they caused the problem. The current driver is v6.75.
I'm happy with the change I made and do not want to make further changes for fear that it could take me many hours to get back to a working Qimage. I only use this printer for printing various size photos on 8 1/2 X 11 photo paper.
