epson printer question

[notacat]

I've got an epson stylus photo 2200 with automatic cutter and after more than a year I still haven't figured out what settings to make, buttons to push etc. to get a starting and finishing cut on a single photo, using roll poaper. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

I've got a 2200 but I've never used the cutter - sorry can't help with that.
But I just recently purchased a new R1900 due to the 2200 acting up on accepting paper (had it for 7 years). I sent you a private message about 2 ink cartridges if you would want them.

i just bought the epson 1900 also. haven't had time to hook it up yet. i am really going to try on monday.

how do u like yours so far?

So far I really like it. I especially like the Gloss Optimizer. This makes the whites look the same as the rest of the print instead of an area that hasn't received any ink. Black and Whites look much better then the 2200 (it should as it is new technology). The only thing that I don't like is when you print for example - a 4 X 6 onto a sheet of 8 X 10 with the gloss optimizer on - the whole sheet gets the optimizer rather then just the photo. Previously I was able to cut away the 4 X 6 and use the rest of the paper. Now you can't. I'll just have to precut some 4 X 6 sizes to accommodate this situation.
