Hi,
I am a new member so I hope this meets with some ideas.
I have a print problem which so far no one has an answer. Anyone able to help?
I publish and print Greeting Cards.
The two main sizes of card are 140mm x 280mm folded to 140mm square. and A5 folding to A6.
I print these on a Canon iP8750. For pure ecconomic reasons of time and ink I use a Cityink Express CIS system. I have satisfactory used these systems on an Epson R2000, an Epson XP 960 and Canon IP 8750.
Card is from Paper Spectrum.
When I got the Epson iP8750 I wanted to use some of the matte coated 300gsm cards. The Epson iP8750 printer refused to print on the 140mm.sq. 300gsm card The card did not always engage into the proper position and so the printing started late just before the edge of the paper when there should be a 3mm border. I tried the glossy 240 gsm and it printed and registed perfectly on the 140mm wide cards, I can leave this size to run without a problem.
So I introduced the A5 folding to A6. I still print on the 240 gsm glossy card. However as before this is not regeristering with the paper feed. Same issue as with the 300 gsm card.
The A5 cards are cut in a different grain direction so I changed to A5 landscape and worked the cards to make them more flexible, this helps but not always. The waste is unsatisfactory and it is very strange the same card at 140mm wide will feed without any problem.
All my printing due to volume has to be machine fed. Thank you for looking at this problem.
Any ideas?
