    We currently print 3×8 banners and I am having trouble setting the print line to be accurate due to the first banner printed having excess feed. Is there a way to set the feed at the start so the remaining print lines are accurate?

    This is the line that shows you where to cut the banner. We manually cut the banners and are trying place a cut line so we do not have to measure by hand for cutting.

    THANKS! 😀

    so you are saying your printer is printing

    3×8 foot but more like 3×8.01 foot? slightly longer on the print?

    The JV3 (original printer) does have feed calibration, you can overridge this by pressing ‘Function’ and ‘up’ and ‘down’ in say blocks of 10… you do this to improve feed rate and reduce banding, but it is at a cost of making the banner grow/shrink.
    Also, if you put a lot of ink down on a banner it will change size.

    We put the cutline on the artwork file, so that it is on the same place on
    every banner. Similarly, the circles for the eyelets are also on the artwork file.
    I’m not sure that there is a facility for this in the RIP software.

    Thank you as we use Photoshop CS3 Extended for our artwork.

    Thanks!
