The issue with Epson's older printers (like my 3000) is that the print is not perfectly rectangular. For example on a large print it is not unusual to have an 8th of an inch difference in length on one side of the paper vs. the other on a 20 inch print. Even at half that, a 16th of an inch is a lot to be off if you are trying to match up with a digital negative produced on yet another printer. You can't properly align the two images if one or the other is slightly long or short. The higher end of the Epson line have done a better job of feeding accuracy. I just put in a 7600 and it uses a vaccum to hold the paper and automatically aligns the paper so that it feeds through straight...I think the 7000 operates in a similar fashion. - --- dplace <dlpimages@earthlink.net> wrote: > > > I suspect the Epson 7000 > > given the accuracy of paper feeding and > registration > > that must be required on these prints. > > registration isn't that big of a deal ... his > sequence is that he prints the > colors from the epson first along with > crop/registration marks ...
