This guide is specifically for the Epson SureColor P9000, but for almost all printers in the AT2D Lab, the three parameters that you must set for successful printing is paper/media size, paper/media type, and scaling. These settings are in similar, but different places depending on what app you use to print your file.
<aside> ❗
Note: These instructions are assuming you are using roll media that is already loaded. If you need help loading or changing media, look here for roll media, or here for cut sheets.

check the scaling setting to make sure it’s set to “Do Not Scale” or “100%” so that the image will print at the correct size.
Note: If you are printing the file at a different dimension than it is saved at and are using the custom media size to scale it down/up as outlined in step 2.e above, you should use “Fit” at this point.
Note: If you are printing from the roll
If you are printing from the roll, it will be more efficient to utilize as much of the paper’s width as possible. If your file is portrait format, or if you have multiple files to print, it’s worth taking the time to use Illustrator to create an artboard the width of the paper roll and place all of the files in the most efficient orientation and position, and then send one print file directly from Illustrator.
ensure “Epson SC-P9000 Series” is the selected printer
