Hi Karl, I have just finished some jobs which were 130mm x 150mm. I printed 50 sets of 14 and all of them I used Inked Area and it worked fine. This works for both the Windows driver or the Postscript driver. Which one are you using? >From what you mention, I think you are using the Windows Driver.
Since you cannot create a custom pagesize of 130 x 150mm in the driver, I chose A4 and then had the option to remove the top and bottom white areas checked. Both white spaces (before and after the drawing) were removed as one would expect. Having said that, I did have the Margins in the driver set to Smaller. Which application are you using, what are the margin settings in the driver AND in the printer's front panel? cheers Teddy ----- Original Message ---- From: Karl Owens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: HPDesignJet List (Yahoo) <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 10:34:22 PM Subject: [HPDesignJet_Printers] HP DesignJet 5500 - Inked Area We recently purchased HP DesignJet 5500 printers to replace DJ800s. Our workflow relied on the "inked area" only feature of the DJ800s. The DJ5500 seems to use a different method to determine "inked area" which has caused us some problems. Our experience so far is that the DJ550 only trims white space "after" the inked area. It does nothing with regard to white space "before" the inked area. The DJ800s would trim white space on both ends. Is this the same experience for other DJ5500 users? Can this be adjusted in the settings? Or is this really the way "inked area" is handled on the DJ5500? - Karl Owens ------------ --------- --------- --------- -------- University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] edu Phone: (541) 346-0576 ------------ --------- --------- --------- -------- <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family:Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin:0 0 1em 0; } #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family:Arial; clear:both; } #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top:10px; font-family:Verdana; font-size:77%; margin:0; } #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding:0 1px; } #ygrp-actbar{ clear:both; margin:25px 0; white-space:nowrap; color:#666; text-align:right; } #ygrp-actbar .left{ float:left; white-space:nowrap; } .bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family:Verdana; font-size:77%; padding:15px 0; } #ygrp-ft{ font-family:verdana; font-size:77%; border-top:1px solid #666; padding:5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom:10px; } #ygrp-vital{ background-color:#e0ecee; margin-bottom:20px; padding:2px 0 8px 8px; } #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size:77%; font-family:Verdana; font-weight:bold; color:#333; text-transform:uppercase; } #ygrp-vital ul{ padding:0; margin:2px 0; } #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type:none; clear:both; border:1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ font-weight:bold; color:#ff7900; float:right; width:2em; text-align:right; padding-right:.5em; } #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight:bold; } #ygrp-vital a { text-decoration:none; } #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration:underline; } #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color:#999; font-size:77%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding:6px 13px; background-color:#e0ecee; margin-bottom:20px; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding:0 0 0 8px; margin:0; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type:square; padding:6px 0; font-size:77%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration:none; font-size:130%; } #ygrp-sponsor #nc { background-color:#eee; margin-bottom:20px; padding:0 8px; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding:8px 0; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; color:#628c2a; font-size:100%; line-height:122%; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration:none; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration:underline; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin:0; } o {font-size:0;} .MsoNormal { margin:0 0 0 0; } #ygrp-text tt{ font-size:120%; } blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} .replbq {margin:4;} --> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
