Custom size-a new complication

This is a follow up to my previous post. When I tried Forrest Jerome1's solution, I tried it on 4x6 paper (a standard size) and did a small print of 3x4 to not waste ink and it printed as it should. When I went to try to do an 8z12 print, I set the paper size to a custome size, 9.5x13 which is a 13x19 standard size cut in half. When you select "scale to" i.e. 8x12, then you cannot select a custom print size--the option is grayed out. I cannot see a way to work around this because there is no standard paper size close enough to use as a substitute.
I love Aperture and have no complaints other than the printing options. I hope this is greatly improved in the next version.

I have one further question. Can you print the picture anywhere on the paper or is the only default in the center. I hate to waste a whole sheet of paper. I know with Photoshop you can position the picture anywhere on the paper just by dragging it.
Thanks, John

  • Photoshop CS6 file/new/presets/custom sizes-where kept?

    I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.8.3 and lately I've been losing presets when Photoshop CS6 crashes or I have some other unrelated problem. First it was brushes-I lost the palette of brushes I had built over years and had to drag in an old set from a networked computer. Then it was Workspacees; same tedious solution. Now, after I had to reinstall the OS two days ago, I've lost the custom size presets under File/New/Presets/Custom. But it isn't clear where these presets reside in the system: the prefs, the app plugins, or the settings. Where are they stored, and can anyone tell me why all these preferences or presets seem to be more volatile in CS6 than they were previously? Or is this all a fig newton of my imagination?

  • New problem in page setup; custom sizes

    Although previously working fine, while using Pages, custom page set up settings aren't taking effect. Trying to do a business card setting of 3.54 x 2.05 with no margins. It always comes back with a 8 1/2" x 11" page. I restarted pages, then rebooted the mac, and continue having this problem. Other test sizes now seem to be giving me the same result.
    I am going to: Page setup, paper size, manage custom sizes.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there. I just tested this and found I was able to change from cm, which is my default, to inches simply by setting System Preferences > International > Formats > Measurement Units to US from Metric.
    It sounds like you may be doing this already, so the only other thing I can suggest is to quit the Application you are attempting to set the Custom Size in. I found that after I set the Measurement Units back to Metric, the Manage Custom Sizes still showed inches in the dimensions boxes. But after I quit the application and then opened it again, the Manage Custom Sizes menu was showing cm again.

  • Printing envelope not formatted correctly on custom size 8.75 by 5.75

    Printers and All-In-Ones running win 7 64 bit, officejet 8600 pro all update current, In works 2007 word processor or 2011 Hallmark card progam.  downloaded latest driver and reinstalled same (deleted original dr and rebooted first). Envelope is correctly positioned, address prints at top of flap side return address is missing.  On plain paper (8.5X11) test print, address & return address appears to be in correct position.

    I have the same problem with the same size paper (aka Invitation or Statement size), and have an additional problem with printing to the corresponding envelope size which is a Standard A9 (5.75"x8.75"). These are both standard size papers for the U.S. and are used in printing wedding invitations. I don't understand why there are programmed sizes for Japanese stationary, but not for all standard U.S. size formats (that will fit in the main feed tray) or the ability to create a Custom Size format.
    Because these features weren't available, I ended up paying a local printer to print my New Year's cards (an expense I wasn't anticipating that equaled half the purchase price of the printer). And, since I can't print on the envelopes I will need to print labels, which I was hoping to avoid because I hate applying labels to envelopes.
    HP, please update the software to allow customers to print to all appropriate Standard Size US formats or allow for customization, otherwise my next printer will be purchased from a manufacturer that does provide this ability.

  • PDF Image will not fill up entire custom size page

    Fellow Forum Members,
    I'm using Acrobat 6 and SnagIt 8. My screen captures with SnagIt are being saved in PDF format. But for some reason I can't figure out, the capture image is not filling up the entire 8" x 6" PDF custom size page. I keep on getting 1.5" Right and Bottom margins no matter what setting I use in Distiller or in SnagIt. It's like the image is refusing to resize itself to fill up the page.
    Does anyone out there know of a way to screen capture an image at a 8" X 6" size and have it totally fill up a 8" X 6" PDF page? Is there a screen capture app that doesn't have this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If you use Acrobat's built-in functionality of creating a new PDF from the clipboard it fills the entire page.

  • How does one create a photo book of a custom size? Only option available is 11x 8.5 inches

    Please help me with the basic steps for creating a photo book in pse12 of a custom size e.g. 12x15
    I want to create design using pse12 and get the album printed by a local vendor. Please help. I am stuck with the fixed size offered by Adobe.
    I want to create Photoshop photo book in order to spread out few single images on 2 sheets. I won't be able to do the same if I create pages separately.
    Thanks in advance.

    Aha. You can't have two different page sizes in one single document.
    You are right, you could do it with three separate documents, and 'glue' them together using a Book document. It's far easier to place a blank placeholder page in your actual document, and create a new doc just for the oversized page.
    When the time comes to produce a final file (hopefully, a PDF), you can leave it as is -- two separate documents --, or use Acrobat to stitch the larger page into the main document (at the request of your printer).

  • Custom Size Envelope Printing In Address Book

    First off, I'm using an Epson SC 880.
    I want to print on 5x7 envelopes. I am able to define the custom size of 5x7, but when I attempt to print, it spits the envelope out unprinted.
    I'm wondering if this is a printer driver problem or a bug in Address Book or if something I'm specifying in the custom size is wrong.
    Any comments appreciated.

    It appears that there is a major bug in this new version of Address Book. First I found that when you go in the "Print" panel, go to "Envelopes", go to "Layout", and then go in Layout to "Layout" submenu and use "Define Custom" which comes up "Layout Name" and when type in any name and click "OK" it UN-SELECTS the "Layout Panel" and you cannot change any of the parameters, BUT I discovered that if after you type in a "Layout Name", click "OK": and then click "Cancel" and then again open "Print". It opens to the same place as before (with everything the same) BUT with the Layout Panel SELECTED and you can now change all the parameters. I don't know about the printer printing blank sheets, because my printer seems to work fine. But I have a HP and you have an Epson. Hopefully those geniuses at Apple will get around to fixing this problem sometime in 2006 or 2007, who knows!!!!!

  • Difficulty printing borderless photos for custom sizes

    I am finding it difficult to print a borderless photo. When I try to print using the photo paper I have it always prints a border (or does not print in the border - so i guess this is called cropped).
    The photo paper is not in the "Paper Size" list of the print dialogue in Preview (or iPhoto). So I specify the size using the "Manage Custom Sizes" option (similar in iPhoto). The size is 89 x 127 mm. In the print preview it looks fine, but when it is printed, a white border (ie, non printed area) crops the whole image. The one side is a 5mm border, with its opposite being 3 and the other two being 3.4.
    I have noticed that when I play around with the Paper size, the standard sizes (like A4) for example, all have a "borderless" option (ie, I can select "A4" or "A4 (borderless)"). When A borderless size is selected certain other options are disabled/enabled. For example, the options under the "borderless printing" 'tab' is enabled and the options under the "duplex printing and margins" 'tab' becomes disabled. This is the exact opposite for when I try and specify my paper size. So perhaps this is a factor. (Even though I would have expected the "border" option set to "none" would mean that there would be no border...)
    So just to save ppls time, this is what I am doing when I print:
    1. The image is exactly 89x127mm (created with GIMP)
    2. I print using Preview (similar results are achieved in iPhoto, but more pain to get there)
    3. I set the paper size to 8.9 by 12.7cm (see note 1)
    4. I don't change the scale (though i have experimented with all options here and nothing seems to change).
    5. I check that Layout > Border > None is selected. It always is.
    6. I change Quality and Media > Media Type to Glossy Photo Paper. (not that this should matter)
    7. I go to borderless printing tab and note that it is disabled. great.
    8. The preview shows no borders and so I hit print, but the borders come anyway (the image gets cropped).
    Note
    I have managed to print borderless photo images with this printer using the supplied photo paper that came with the printer. I don't think i have been able to do it since moving to this new size but I may be wrong...
    Note 1
    When I am setting the size in Preview, I can specify the "Non-Printable Areas". I set these to zero, though I note that the 'canon mp640 series' presets are the exact measurements that is the area that does not get printed.
    Note 2
    In case it has a bearing on the problem, the printer I am using is a Canon MP640.

    I have had some more trials to print without boarders. This time, it was inside of iPhoto. I had made a greeting card and wanted to print to a custom size. but without the ability to select the size as a boarder less size, I was unable to print directly. So instead, I had to save as a pdf > save pdf to iPhoto and then print the image as a photo (instead of a card).

  • Borderless printing in custom sizes

    I'm working on an HP 2575 with Windows 7
    I need to print borderless at custom sizes - the main one being 125x250mm.
    I understand that this isn't a pre-programmed option but somehow in the past I have managed to create a template in print properties that does exactly what I want! Now I have a new size that I need  (144x288mm) and I have tried to configure the settings many different ways but it's always printing with a 3mm blank border.
    I have rang Hp who can't help unless I pay for tech support and then they don't guarantee a solution so I thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar problem or workaround for me?
    Many thanks.

    This question is Not Answered....
    "ummm".... Simply trying to help.
    I used A4 as an example because that's what I was doing at the time, on my A4 printer - not my HPDesignjet 130nr, which is 600mm wide, on a roll!

  • I cant print custom sizes in photoshop CS3. Please help

    I am on my Imac G4 using mac os x 10.4.11. I know that it is not my printer that is the problem. I have been told that I should upgrade to 10.5.x, I have also purchased a new CS3 because I dont have the original copy so I cant reinstall it. The trouble that I am having is that when I try to print custom sizes, the printer defaults back to 8.5x11. Only in photoshop does it do this. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I can do to fix it? I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I will check back until this is resolved.

    Russell,
    Because your screen shots (they look like you actually shot them with a camera! ) don't show the whole Print Preview panel, I'm not sure at what stage you're losing the paper size, but it's pretty clear that by the time you invoke the printer driver, it's royally screwed up.
    At this point I would:
    • delete the printer from your printer list (in the Printer Setup Utility),
    • re-install a fresh copy of the latest printer driver from the Epson site,
    • then add the printer back in.
    This is the kind of consistency you should be seeing (Command Click on each thumbnail to open the full-size image in a new web browser tab) [NOTE: this is CS4 running in Tiger 10.4.11):

  • Can't print custom size on Mac os 10.3.9.

    Recently set up my new Epson 1400 printer but find it doesn't want to print any custom sizes.
    Thought it was a printer error but was told that it may be something to do with the mac/program i am using. I'm working on Adobe Illustrator CS2... when i go to print then page set up I can set up the custom size needed ( 30cm-80cm ) on the untitled option, thinking all is going well i look on the print preview it looks exactly how i want it set up ready to go but it will only print Super A3 size even though i have told it not to. A little look closer on the main print page i can see that although the measurements are stored in there, they are not highlighted and neither is the custom button, i'm sure this is the reason why i can't get it to print the longer length needed, can anyone help me, its driving me mad???? thanks.

    I'm using Tiger, but it may be the same in Panther.
    Open the Page Setup window. In the *Format for* block there may be two choices available by clicking the arrows : Any Printer or your Epson. Select your Epson & you may have more choices for sizes.

  • Custom Size Paper - Last Resort

    I'm using a Mac G4 PowerPC with OS X10.04 with an Epson Stylus Photo 2000P.
    I'm trying to use the Page Set-U menu in PhotoShop to print a custom document size 12x12 inches. The printer is capable of printing 13x19 in color. In the Page Set-Up menu I go to custom page size. I set up a new custom size file with the new size thand the margins and name the custom size. It shows up at the left under the customer file name. However, when I go back to Page Set-up and go to Paper size, my new customer size is listed at the bottom of all the Epson established custom-sized paper list, but the file name is in gray, not black, so cannot be selected.
    A hint might be that in the user defined area of the custom size window, I cannot get the Epson 2000P printer to show up. The only printer that will show is my Epson 5700i laser printer. The Epson 200P is my default printer in the Printer Setup Utilize window. Of course the 5700i will not print in color nor will it print 12x12. Is there a way I can get my Epson 2000P printer to show up in the user defined area? Maybe that's why my new custom size title does not appear as usable on paper size under the Print Setup.
    I talked at length with Epson. After trying all they could, obviously with no success, they said it must be a software issue. I can print all the other various sizes available in the Page listed on the Page Size under the Page Set-Up menu so they show in black, but not the custom size I developed that shows only in gray.
    I then called Apple, and was told they no longer support my computer. Thanks a lot Apple. I guess this is now my only option.
    Any help would sincerely be appreciated. Thank you very much if you can help me solve this issue.

    Hi - I'm not sure which printer you have or which application you're printing from, but your printer likely has a custom paper size setting.  In whatever application you're printing from, go into Print, select your printer and then choose Properties.  Depending on your printer, there will likely be an option for a customer paper size, where you can specify the size.  You might also go into Page Setup in your application and see if there is a customer paper size option in there as well.
    Hope that helps.

  • My Photoshop CS5 keeping crashing when I select my Epson Printing option - Custom sizes management.

    HI Ohhh Kaye,
    This may not help you since I'm not using a macOS.  I'm running windows 7 with PS 2014.2.2.  However the problem seems similar.  I found this workaround on photoshop.com where people using windows and OSx versions were reporting the issue for well over a year.
    It appears one trigger for this problem is when reusing older photoshop files.  These older Photoshop files have older print settings saved within them.  If your printer driver is newer/changed since the file was made and/or your Photoshop version is newer than when it was created it appears to cause a crash when trying to enter printer driver settings to change them.
    The workaround that worked for me:  Open the old photoshop file.  Jot down the dimensions.  Create a new file w/same dimensions.  Arrange your workspace to "2-up vertical" or something that allows you to see both files at once.  Select all layers on the old file and drag to the new file.  Close the old file.  Align all your layers and content to the new file (keep all layers selected).  Then save the new file.  Now choose print, and then choose print settings.   It should not crash this time. And it will be fine the next time you open it.  That is if this workaround will work for both operating systems and errors anyway. (might not)   Worth a try if you are really trying to print something directly from photoshop.  Otherwise export a pdf and print that.
    Hope it works for you OSX people too.

  • Help creating custom size pdf

    I am trying to print a pdf of a 96x36 banner using the pdf printer in a Publisher 2010 file.  I have searched online and found many sites with instructions which I have followed. I have also posted on Microsoft's help but am still unable to print the pdf. I have added a custom size form to the pdf printer, but when I click print nothing happens. The pdf printer works on other publisher files in standard paper sizes, but not custom sizes.  There is nothing in the file creating a problem - I opened a new file with nothing in it and still can't get it to print.  If anyone can help - PLEASE DO! I have struggled with this for 3 days and can't find an answer anywhere as to why I can not print a custom size document.

    Lori - I was wondering if you could help me with another Adobe question I have been struggling with - affecting all my CS5 programs, including - but not specific to - Acrobat? 
    In all the CS5 programs (including Acrobat) it takes a very long time for the open dialog box and save dialog box to appear after clicking save or open under file.  Everything else in the programs works fine - it doesn't take long for operations to be performed or anything else, and once the dialog box is open it doesn't take a long time to open or save the files.  I have narrowed down the problem to being connected to a home network.  I have a network storage device and another computer that I access and use files between.   As a test I unplugged the network cable and the dialog boxes appeared immediately.  Once the computer was reconnected to the home network, the same slow dialog boxes returned.  I have found others online with the same problem, but no answers as of yet.  I have checked whatever settings on my computer that I found in postings for possible solutions, but nothing has helped.  Are you aware of this problem, and do you know of any solution for it?  It is extremely frustrating to wait so long for the dialog box to appear - it adds a lot of time to my workflow, and its almost embarrassing that my CS1 programs' open & save dialog boxes appear with lightening speed but my CS5 is slower than molasses!!  Any help would be appreciated!
    CS5 is installed on a 64 bit Windows 7 computer

  • Problem printing custom size 3.5 in x 5 in from InDesign to Canon i9900

    I am working on a small project where I need to print a custom size. The cards are 3.5 in x 5 in. I set up a custom size of paper in InDesign CS3, but every time I print to my Canon i9900, I get only a small bit of the design in the upper left hand corner as if my paper size is set to 8.5 x 11. I have tried everything to get it to print correctly. Also, how do I set the paper for borderless printing? It seems that it still has a margin when my printer prints borderless. This seems like if would be elementary to me so I am a bit frustrated that I can't figure it out.

    My experience is with CS2 on OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.11, so this may have changed in CS3, or 10.5....
    Setup a custom paper size for your printer.
    This can be accessed from within the InDesign Print window.
    File > Print
    Select your printer from the
    Printer: pulldown menu (if not already selected)
    Click
    Page Setup... at the bottom left
    Click
    Settings and then select
    Custom Paper Size from the list of options
    Click
    New, name the style, define the paper size and printable margins, and save it.
    Click OK to exit the page setup.
    In the InDesign Print Window, Click on
    Page Setup... again
    Select
    Your New Paper Size in the Page Setup
    Paper Size: pulldown, then click OK.
    InDesign Print window
    Setup should reflect the new page size and list the paper size as "Defined by Driver"
    If your document page size is the same as your paper size, then the preview in the lower left should reflect that.
