please tell me if i could reduce the margins on my sp300??
Hi guys,
I was just wondering if i could reduce the margins on my sp300. every time i print something i get about 2 cm margins on both sides of the media. can i change this?? if i were to do a car wrap for instance how would i be able to get 2 pieces of a design to fit together if there were margins on all the artwork. is it posibble to print edge to edge??
thanks a million!!

Hi
Look at the markers on the track above the pinch rollers – you can’t go further left and further right than these, 720mm is about the easiest obtainable maximum print width (in theory up to 730mm with some fiddling but the most we ever got was 728mm). You can’t print with a bleed to the edges you will always have a white border of around 10+mm depending on the roller position and media width.
You need to lamiante wraps so the white isn’t a bad thing as it allows some ‘wandering’ of the laminate. Design your wrap, import and tile with a 5-10mm overlap in the software, then trim the prints with a straight edge and scalpel just into the print so no white edges showing.
Hope that helps.

Car wraps you cut your panels. In Versaworks you can do tiling where you can specify an overlap and it handles the rest.

I use mine at 735 all the time with Oracal vinyl, you have to make sure it’s loaded correctly thought as you have no margin for wandering.
I usually tell my customers 730 though to be safe.Steve

I always thought there was a setting for letting it print beyond the margins? means that ink ends up on the rollers though 👿
