Canon i950 and 6.25" x 9" paper (greeting cards)
Okay, this might be a very stupid question but I'm having trouble
getting my Canon i950 to print cards on 6.25" x 9" card stock (Red River paper). Is this a software thing or a printer thing? I tried setting custom sizes but it keeps printing incorrectly and it's getting frussssstrating. Has anyone printed this size on the i950? Thanks. |

I have an s820 and can print any size stock on it up to the limits of the
printer. What software are you using? -- Ron Cohen "esrade" wrote in message om...

I use the 6.25x9" card stock from Red River on my i9100. I use PhotoShop for
printing. In the driver, (from Print menu), simply select Custom size and set it to 6.25 x 9 or 9 x 6.25 depending on whether you are printing a vertical format or horizontal format card. Seemed pretty easy. (Of course, I specified 6.25x9 canvas size in PhotoShop at my desired ppi before I built the card.) What problems are you having? -Jon "esrade" wrote in message om...

The one will set a page size only for the application in which it is set. The other will create a new page size that AFAIK all applications can use. But the options and possibilities are not the same. With wordprocessors, for example, you can define any paper size you want, within the physical (=printable) limits of the printer. With the printers I know, you can modify only such things as minimum margins (which has the same effect as changing the paper size, since it changes the printable area.) So it matters where you set page sizes. -- Wolf Kirchmeir If you didn't want to go to Chicago, why did you get on the train? (Garrison Keillor) just one w and plain ca for correct e-mail address |

I'm talking in the driver. Properties. Not the application. Sorry for the
confusion. Only the i9100 driver doesn't remember the custom settings so they have to be set for the session each day you need a custom size. -Jon "Wolf Kirchmeir" wrote in message mpatico.ca...

(It's not the "driver," BTW, because you can install different drivers for the same printer. When you update a driver, that's exactly what you do - install a different driver.) Also, from the phrase "each day you need the custom size," I take it that after the custom size has been printed, the printer properties are reset to standard paper. Now, how do you set up that custom size? Do you "Create Custom Paper", for example? Or do you just set the margins so that the printable area is the size of your greeting card? If the former, then AFAIK, you must give the custom size a name before you can Save it. If the latter, the settings will be lost as soon as you reset the printer to standard 8.5x11" paper. That's as far as my knowledge reaches. Hope it at least gives you a clue on how to proceed. -- Wolf Kirchmeir If you didn't want to go to Chicago, why did you get on the train?
