Want to save film and use scraps? Different printers load film differently—some on the right, others centered. Follow these simple steps for successful printing with film scraps using AccuRIP.

Steps for Right-Side Loading Printers:

1. Set up an artboard to match the dimensions of your film scrap.
2. In AccuRIP, select a sheet media size that’s larger than your film scrap. (Example: For a 7” x 6” film scrap, choose Letter size).
3. In the Corel Print window, select the AccuRIP Emerald driver, check "Use PPD," then click the gear to set a "PostScript Custom Page Size" that matches the artboard and film dimensions. Click PRINT to send the job to AccuRIP for output.

• For the example size, select "long edge first" to maintain proper orientation. When setting custom page sizes, choose "short edge" if the width is less than the height, and "long edge" if the width is greater than the height.

4. AccuRIP will display a print preview showing the print location. Click PRINT to finalize output.

Tip: Right-side media loading printers always begin printing from the zero origin point, located in the upper-left corner of all sheet media sizes.

Steps for Center-Loading Printers:

1. Set up an artboard to match the dimensions of your film scrap.
2. In AccuRIP, select a sheet media size larger than the film scrap. (Example: For a 4” x 12” scrap, choose 11x17).
3. In the Corel Print window, select the AccuRIP Emerald driver, check "Use PPD," then click the gear icon and select the media size that matches the artboard and film dimensions. 
4. Go to the Layout Tab, select “Reposition artwork to”, then choose Top center. Click PRINT to send the job to AccuRIP for output.
5. AccuRIP will show a print preview with the exact location. Click PRINT to finalize output.

Tip: For center-loading printers, set the image to "centered" on stock media sizes. This ensures AccuRIP® prints the image successfully on any film scrap. AccuRIP will show the print preview, indicating the image's exact centered position.
