A3 prints + (W) Drums in Riso GR 2710?

[henriksoderstrom]

Hello, me and a colleague recently bought an old Risograph GR 2710 cheap. Specifications from the seller and online have said that the GR2710 can print A3 prints, but we have only had time to try A4 so far.
We bought a couple of GR series drums with the (W) suffix, but when we tried installing them they wouldn't fit. We had assumed wide drums wouldn't be a problem since it is a GR drum and the machine supposedly took A3. Does the GR2710 not take (W)ide drums or is there some extra operation needed to install them?

Sorry you got miss informed. The GR 2710 only does 8.5x14, legal size.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I was confused when even this official info sheet from Riso said it took both originals and papers of 11x17", but of course reading on I now see that the sheet says that the "Image area" is indeed smaller...
Sooo... if anyone needs a pair of blue and red GR (W) drums, drop me a line at henrikvonsoderstrom (a) gmail.com (located in Sweden)
