Re: Epson 2400, 13 x 36 inch panorama, I'll be dipped if I can cypher it out....

Hi Chris,

I have an Epson 2100, which should behave virtually the same 
regarding paper handling.

You didn't tell us what exact print area size your pano has. From 
which applikation do you print? Borderless or not?

Assuming you print with borders on all sides, you have to check if 
your printer positions the print area correctly. Otherwise you have 
to take some corrections into account. Check your borders with 
exactly the same settings as you are going to use for your pano. Use 
cheap paper (glue some sheets together) and a small frame to print to 
save ink.

Use banner mode.
Don't use "save roll paper option"!
Yes, set custom paper size.
Yes, 1300x0.01in = 13in and 3600x0.01in = 36in.
