Re: Sub paper supplier for use with bypass tray

Post by Baldy »

Morning all,

So...I was considering getting one of the bypass trays for the SG400 to enable me to be able to print the items just a little too long for standard A4 sheets.
Does anybody know where I can buy paper to use with the bypass tray as standard A4 obviously not long enough, and the only rolls I've seen appear to be a minimum of 13" wide.

If the people who are selling you the bypass tray don't stock the paper then why bother?
Your only option is to cut down 13" rolls, which is time consuming and wasteful. Alternatively you could try a 17" roll and cut it directly in half for two 8.5" rolls.

I'd be wary of cutting down rolls - the curl of the paper is going to make it hard for the paper to play nicely with the paper feed of the printer.

I believe this printer will take Legal size paper (8.5" x 14").

I don't know if you can get sublimation paper in this size, but have a go with ordinary paper as many people say it makes little or no difference to the final print. It's cheaper too!
