Problème d'impression négatif numérique sur Epson P 800

Citation

The concept behind my method is tricking the printer into thinking that you are using the front-feed even though you are actually using the sheet-feed. That is what keeps the star-wheels in the up (disengaged) position. There are differences in the paper feed systems of the 3880 and the P800 that certainly require attention — the 3880 does not have the roll-feed, the P800 does not have the manual rear-feed; on the 3880 the front-feed is left open when in use, on the P800 it is closed after loading the paper. These differences may require different solutions to keep the paper path clear. Unfortunately, I have no way of checking this on a P800.

There should be no limitations on left and right for image size other than not being larger than the page size. (I am speaking of left and right on the printer, which may or may not be the same on the image.) I found that the leading edge needs about 1/2 inch (1.3cm), and the trailing edge needs about 1.5 inches (3.8cm). These figures may vary slightly from one printer to another.

I see you are using QTR. Do you use Mac or Windows? If Mac, do you use Print-Tool? Do you use Epson inks, PiezoDN, or something else? This matters for the advise I give on how to set up borders.

Guiding the film through the printer without it getting caught on anything is the purpose of taping over the guide in step 4 of my instruction article, and the "bridge" in step 5. This may need to be different on the P800 — I don't know. Step 6 in my article shows another potential obstruction and suggests a way to deal with it. On the 3880 that I use exclusively for negatives, I removed the guide on the front-feed tray with a hacksaw since I don't need it to be there for anything else. Most people won't want to do this.

I don't know what you mean by "parasitic micro-spots, micro-scratches, and micro-furrows. Closeup pictures of these flaws would be helpful.
