Title: Problem with borders
Post by: vinprom on November 08, 2023, 05:58:17 PM
I recently bought a new EPSON L8050 printer and when I run photos with borders, the borders are not even (the left one is too big, the top one is almost gone...). I used a service program to do margin correction, but everything is OK with it and it prints fine in the test.What could be the problem with these borders? From Qimage, from drivers...?! My old EPSON L805 printer almost doesn't have this borders problem.  :'(

Do you mean borders... or page margins?  Please give an example of what you are doing.  Post a screenshot if you can to demostrate what you are doing.

Regards,
Mike

Here are the print results. The screenshot with the two photos shows a photo printed borderless and a photo with a inner border 15.
It can also be seen that it is being cropped out of the photo itself, except that the borders are not even.
To adjust these borders I had to make a custom layout with adjusted borders...

It looks like you are running into just about every pitfall possible with respect to borderless printing.  Please see this video for a full explanation of what you are up against when printing borderless.  And by borderless, I mean the borderless option set in the driver: all three of your screenshots show that the borderless option is turned on in the driver so you are subject to all of these potential issues:

Thank you for the video!
It's better now. There is still a fine adjustment on the printer offset settings, but now it is definitely better.
