having a hard time printing 11x17 on transparency(solved)

Postby kram777 » Fri Jul 10, 2009 4:51 pm

hi there. i need help in printing 11x17 on a transparency? i tried everything, went to document properties then chose 11x17 and went to my printer setting and change it also to 11x17,btw i use epson 1400, but my final print is not covering the whole image that i want. the output is only 8.5x11 but it says on both of my setting its 11x17. am i missing something? does inkscape recognize large format printing? hoping somebody could help me out with this one. thanks in advance.

I would check the printing settings, maybe there's an option to scale or fit within certain size.

Have you tried exporting to png with 300dpi and print that? What units are you talking about anyway? Did you choose correct units in Inkscape Document properties?
