The printer has 7,386 feet printed
I have run the Accurip print length test and have adjusted accordingly in Accurip. This is making another noticeable difference, so far. It is a bit weird... the first plate is a hair off the other three. The last 3 were dead on each other.

It is one of the most important features in the RIP! Anybody reading this should set it up even if they don't think it's needed.pierre
Did you try warming the machine prior to printing?
Epson printers are prone to skipping if they encounter areas where there is no ink going down. To prevent this you will have to draw a box around the outside of the image area and print this on each film. That way there is ink going down over the whole length of the film. There is a function for that in Wasatch SoftRip called extend crop marks to full length.

I'm on the edge of my seat on this one. I just confirmed my recent Craigslist purchase of a 4800 that's been sitting a year. Shipped yesterday. I'd hate to have a problem with feeding, 'cause I KNOW I'm probably going to have to baby the printheads to get them all happied up. It was already a 650 gamble, with shipping.(ANY BODY SHIPPED A LARGISH PRINTER LATELY VIA UPS? YIKES!!!!)Stan
Your recommendation played a big part as to why I started hunting one. That and I'm tired of piecing together tiles when I need oversized films that my 1400 can't do in one fell swoop.
