If you are using a third party RIP, contact the RIP vendor to determine whether they have updated their color tables to work with KODAK PROFESSIONAL inks.

Image is the wrong size

Be sure the dpi setting (300 or 600) matches the resolution of your image file. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Print contains only partial image

Check the settings of the Margins option. When Margins are set to Normal (the default), the print area is smaller than when Margins are set to Expanded. Try setting the Margins option to Expanded to make the print area larger.

The printer may not have correctly sized your media. Use the Manual Load option to load your media. (See the Quick Start Guide.)
