    Try Window > Show Print Borders to see if the page is not matched.

    Then look at file > Print... > Options and see if it states "Automatic fit OK".
    If not, press the Options... button and fiddle with the Layout fits until one works for you.

    yes, show print borders is definitely the problem. the print border top and bottom is about 1.25in which is exactly what im missing

    What is the name of the paper size you're using EP, these are odd sizes to me. As you're from the States I take it you'll be using US Letter or similar.

    it's not sheets. its a roll. 24"x275'
    yes USA
    using inches as unit of measure.

    i used the same roll in the epson printer, no problem

    on the page, make it custom 24"wide x 10" height

    printed 1000's of pieces like this.

    thank you all for your replies! and most of all your time!!!!
