Re: P800 Issue

Re: P800 Issue
Allan, thanks. ? I do a nozzle check before every print session. No problem there.

Re: P800 Issue

Re: Dtp on epson3880

Re: Dtp on epson3880
Thank you Dave. So kind. My passion. And printmaking was always something I aspired to since art school and college. I was sourcing my ready made plates from Spain but now dying to produce my own.

Re: Dtp on epson3880
Joe, I assume the media file you created, includes the paper thickness, platten gap and a matte icc profile were included. Attached is a copy of the media file the file I am using When I loaded

Re: Dtp on epson3880

Re: Direct to plate
Ah got you. Please have a look at the attached screenshot. I created a plate profile using the media installer. It is listed as a custom paper in the list. So I guess this is the way to go and not

Re: Direct to plate
Thank you so much Greg. Will see what I can manufacture. Looks like it is not possible to send in the plate on its own? Apologies if this sounds basic but I am totally new to using QTR and DTP
