HP Designjet T770 printing on A0 papper

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 06:42:59 GMT

Hello,

I have a HP Designjet T770 44 / A0 inch plotter machine

I use Autocad 2106 and use a A0 / 841 mm template for my drawings.

When i print i use scale to fit and i use A0 paper 841mm format like in the link below:

https://plotterpapperonline.se/vitt-bond-841-mm-plotterpapper-a0-33-1-tum-50m-80g-m2.html

I think it is just standard A0 papper but when i print the drawing is not scaled well. it looks like the drawing is made smaller because of the paper. Do i need bigger paper?

My designjet can print maximum on 1118mm width.

Sorry i am just a new autocad user.

Hi and Welcome to AutoDesk Forum,

would you please show us the plot dialog that you have prepared when you plot to A0?

regards,

Hi,

>> When i print i use scale to fit

Scaled to fit means make your plot content as big as fitting in the PRINTABLE AREA of the defined format.

If you have selected A0 in the plot-dialog then (going to the format definition) you might find a border about 5-10mm as not printable and so not used to calculate "scaled to fit".

Changing that border might result in plotting off the paper, reducing the border in an own paper format could be done, as long as you get the ink on the paper (paper is running inside the tolerance on the plotter).
