cjv300 printing too long

[MimakiGuy]

It seems to be printing things about 3/8s too long. Which is obviously a problem when it is for positives for screen printing, or digital printing sign faces.
I have tried exporting in different file formats. Didnt do anything.
Any ideas?

Mimaki doesn't post print length accuracy specs anymore but their older models in general would spec +/- 1/8" over 8 feet. If you're printing longer than that, it can be off by more. So just keep in mind if you're printing long jobs that there is an expect amount of inaccuracy.

Other than that, make sure your print feed adjustment is perfect and also make sure the roll you're printing on is less than 99 lbs. Those two things can affect length.

The current issue is 3ft and the roll is half way gone.
Where is the print feed adjustment option?

It's in the setup menu and they call it Feed Comp. You might also adjust the pinch rollers to push down harder especially if they are all set to low right now. I usually set them to medium all the way across.
