I am making a SUPER A3+ print right now... of course on the R 2000, but if it prints fine here, then we check your driver settings
See why you get a different printable area. same paper.

Should have the report in 5 minutes

Will do.

Thnks

Thanks Mike.

Not the solution but a good clue - I think.

I looked at the image of the lady and then realised I was not printing from jpg but from raw. There is no sign of white at the top or bottom of the raw.

I then double clicked on the image on the made up page and I saw my crop lock was ticked and read 99.9 and 74.9. When I had called up the raw image to place it on the page and in the queue I had asked for a 100 by 75 image.

I altered the 99.9 to 74.9 (to 100 by 75) and saved the image. When I called it up again it had returned to 99.9 and 74.9.

My verticals are all showing 99.9 and 149.9.

It is odd (to me anyway) that sometime the 'abut' works and sometimes not.

You may have another suggestion but in the meantime, when I go down to my studio next, I'll try asking for 99.9 by 74.9 images instead of 100 by 75 ones. I'll then stack them into a column and see if that is the cure. I'll let you know what happens - but do let me know if you think I should be trying something else.

To be honest, having seen some shots touching the others and some with a white line I may go for putting a white line in with a border every time. But it would be good to solve the original problem if possible so that we all have more control of the way things print.

Thanks Terry,

I had not thought about the vertical alignment being influenced by the other column.

I can easily shift that. It is simply a matter of trying to get the best use from the paper.

I am entering the image size in the box that appears when you hit the equal sign in the thumbnail. Print properties it is called.

No I have not checked the driver yet. I was focussed on Mike's comments about lines of white pixels.

Back later.

Tony,
I think I found the problem...thanks to Terry
Terry's idea made me try placing all the images out of place to start and then if you use CTRL ARROW, the image that you want to butt to the top stops short as the first alignment marker it sees is the opposite column. If that opposite column image is a skinch (in metric it would be a skournch) lower, and the image aligns with that, you can be off enough to make a small white space.

You would need to hit those keys again, or better yet, manually position the lower images closer to the mate of the abutment image and then CTRL ARROW. This will avoid the image finding an alternate marker.
Pretty sure that's it.
I was able to do it once. I was lucky in that the right side column was off spaced compared to the left.
Since you say it didn't always happen, that makes me even more confident that has to be it!!

Thanks Terry for realizing that the images in column B were not the same size/alignment.  Now that we know the cause, the solution is as Terry suggested: when working with "odd" sizes that vary by a small amount on the page (and hence will align slightly differently), you should always just click an extra Ctrl-Up to check alignment.  When using Ctrl-Up to align an image to one above it, click Ctrl-Up until it looks like it aligns and then click Ctrl-Up again until you see it jump too high (to where it overlaps the one above it that you were aligning TO).  Then click Ctrl-Down once to ensure it aligns with the bottom of the print it just overlapped.

Obviously the same goes for Ctrl-Left, Ctrl-Right, and Ctrl-Down.  I've always done this "check" even though I don't typically have sizes on the page that vary by a fraction of an inch.  A leftover from the days when I used to adjust carburetors I guess.    It's a common way to find limits with just about anything.  Dial it in until it just goes over, then dial it back one notch to get it just right.

Same thing isn't it? Obviously it applies to the direction you are moving, say,  (in mathematical terms) moving up or down the "Y" axis, it's the nearest regardless of the the "X" position of the boundary.
cough ... so did I 
Anyway, we are very pleased it's sorted 

Ah ... I remember then well, twin carbs were fun
