Banner printing in Lightroom

[steinrr]

I am trying to print banners from Lightroom (Windows) on an Epson R288', but the guide from Epson seems to be misleading.

I use the Page Setup feature of Lightroom to configure banner printing.

The Epson guide says to use the "Reduce/Enlarge" setting with "Fit to Roll Paper Width", which leads to my page size being automatically set to A3+ and not the "User defined" size I wish. When I return to Lightroom, the page is A3+ and not banner size...

Any advice on this?

steinrr, don't have any Epsons, so I can't productively comment, but while we're waiting, Welcome to the Forums.

Thank you Brad!

One more question related to this. The Epson user guide has two different ways of doing banner print - one for "banner-enabled" applications and one for "not-banner-enabled" applications.

I would presume Lightroom is "banner enabled" because it can set a user defined paper size?

Sorry, I'm clueless on this topic. Anybody else have any knowledge/suggestions?

The closest I got with my Epson 128' (similar to yours but older) was to choose a custom size and compute its size from the pixels count. The preview was then OK. Not to spend money on it, I didn't actually print but wonder if the printer will expect its input from the paper roll. It was on Mac OS and my driver is vore versatile on this point under Windows.

To this effect, can you please complete your signature like everyone. This way, we wont have to ask you each time about your setup. Se "User CP" link top of page...
