Epson registration off
« on: September 27, 2013, 12:15:39 PM »
My epson 3000 is F'ing my film up, for some reason the film don't register to each other, I think it has something to do with how the film is feeding in...any one had this problem and what did you do to fix it.  I thought about trying to change the paper roller things that pull the film in, looks like it pulls some sheets in kind of side ways, I only feed 1 sheet at a time.

All Epson sheet feeders go south eventually. You can get some rubber renew to freshen them up, but no
guarantees.

For the meantime, single feed sheets though the back.

This also assumes that these are all the same type of film, all being fed with the image in the same orientation.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Try extending your crop marks around the whole image area, or draw a box around the image.
