Good morning,
I am brand new at this and just set up my 1100 this past weekend. Maybe this has been asked before but I could not find my answers.
My first question is how can I add mulstiple prints to a page? Such as set up a gang sheet.
My second question is there a way to use the left over pieces of JPSS. I tried printing a design that was smaller than the paper, it was the samples I got with the printer. I have about an 10" piece I cut from the end am I able to use that in the printer as it is not a standard size.
Last question is there a way to move the transfer on the paper like to the top rather than print in the middle.

Thank you for all your help,
Karen in MA

You do all of this in the design software. What software are you using?

What software are you using? One way to do it would be to create an image or worksheet the exact size of the paper you are using. Keeping in mind your margins (which are small on an Epson, I think it's 0.12" but read the manual), you can just cut and paste your designs, as many as will fit. If you are using a vector program like CorelDraw, to make this easier, once you are happy with your design, "group" the whole thing so it stays in one piece.

Thank you for the replies,
I have not settled on a software yet but did down load the Beta Cs6 form Photoshop the other day. Not ready to lay down that kind of cash yet. I do use Inkscape on a fairly regular basis for my vinyl cutter and need to figure out if I can import the jpeg and do it in that. I also downloaded a free program call Photoscape that has a bit of editing properties. I have an older version of elements I need to find to load on my new laptop until I decide.

Thank you,

For a free Photoshop alternative, download GimPhoto+GimPad. You install GimPhoto first, then GimPad makes it look more like Photoshop (you will only run the GimPad shortcut). You could do it through Inkscape, but so far I have been unable to make Inkscape properly use my ICC profiles. GimPad uses ICC profiles just like Photoshop. You will definitely want to run through some tutorials first.

I prefer to create a full sheet document at 300dpi. This requires a bit of memory and processing power, so on an older computer you might get some slowdown. You can export your vectors from Inkscape into JPG, but you are better off using PNG or TIF.
