Weird printing behavior on Sierra for custom greeting cards


Recommended Posts

Hi:

I'm on a Mac and I can't seem to print to an Epson P800 or a Canon 9500 with a paper size of 5 x 6.5 even though it looks okay in the preview. I have the card set up properly in Photoshop with an image in the bottom half of the page. Both printers insist on printing the image in the center of the card, right over the fold and also print the image a lot smaller than the 5" width. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a custom size in the print dialogue and even made it the default size. I have margins of .25 all around the card. In Photoshop, the image seems correctly positioned at the bottom of the page, when viewed in portrait mode

Er! do you mean Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo? this isn't a Photoshop forum?

 

Why not create an A4 sheet and position the template where you would like it to print on that A4 sheet?

I cannot do that because I have bought blank 5 x 6.5 cards. 

I have just got off the phone with Apple Support. The level 2 technician told me that Apple does not support my printers and therefore my problem cannot be submitted to engineering!

Here is the url of Apple's supported printers. Neither the Canon 9500 nor the Epson P800 is on the list!

What say you about this and could this be the problem?

Can you upload the file you are trying to print?

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Which OSX version and more concrete which printers models exactly?

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
