Re: [datacolor_group] Just a suggestion or two

2009-06-22 by CDTobie


There does seem to be a lot of difficulty in scanning the printed sheets. I wonder if a lot of this might go away if the print is made slightly larger so instead of a row being 220mm long it is maybe 260 or even 270mm long. My R800 would certainly handle 260mm and this just might make scanning a bit easier for fumble fingered males.

And if you were doing this then please add A to O along the bottom edge as well.
We are making (ongoing) attempts to increase the target print size on the page. Windows in particular seems to assign unnecessarily large margins, so if you are printing under Windows, try reducing the default margins from our application; it should gain you more of your printable area. Since you use mm as a unit of measure, I assume you may be printing on A4, not letter? If that is the case, adding more text below the patches would reduce the printable width on A4, which is limited by the height of the page (in landscape) more than the width of it.
