Title: Nesting on Epson 9880 Post by: Keith-S on March 01, 2017, 12:12:08 AM OK, I'm confused. Printer has 17" roll paper, QImage is working with a 17"x11" landscape format. Images lay out correctly in Qimage, but the printer refuses to print the images side-by-side and instead prints them one after the other. What am I doing wrong??

Hi Keith, Trying to replicate the problem. You didn't mention the print sizes. That is critical to setting this up, so I used 8 x 10 and two 4 x 6 From your screen shots, I see two anomalies. You have roll paper selected but Media Size say a B 11 x 17. Mine says User Defined in both boxes Media size and Source. See screen snap 074 The second oddity is the ppi that is showing (397 ppi) Even if I turn on borderless, I get 368. Something is changing that. So that leads me to suspect that on the Layout Tab, you have something set wrong. No check marks other than lower right for Optimize. See screen snap 073. Hope something helps.

Max 4 to a post This to me is proof that the print on paper will look like this when settings are correct. This is the print Preview screen. fred Title: Re: Nesting on Epson 9880 Post by: Keith-S on March 01, 2017, 06:03:47 PM Hey Fred,
Thanks for the thorough reply. I changed all of my setting to match yours, but I believe the most significant was that "Fit to Page" was checked. I've never had a printer default that to "On", but I will watch for it now. So, with that unchecked, and everything else set as yours, my ppi dropped to 360x360, and the printer did what I was expecting. One other thing... how do I get to "Print Preview" ??
