Custom sized prints

I have been trying unsuccessfully for hours to print a panorama on custom sized paper (5x20). I was able to print panoramas on the earlier version of Aperture (1.5) with my Epson R2400, but cannot on 2.1. In the print dialog box, I set paper size as custom 5x20. In the layout options, I have tried scaling to "custom 5x20", "fit entire page" and "fit entire image". I have tried every paper tray/paper feed on the printer and the printer will not print. Watching the print que in the printer utility while I hit the print button - it reads "printer ready", then "data being sent to printer", then the printer stops without ever starting. I try and resume the printer but it immediately reverts back to a "Stopped" mode.
Has anyone had any success printing panoramas? Does anyone have any suggestions? Help please. This is so frustrating.
Thanks.

Chris and Allen,
Thanks for your comments. I tried everything I could think of working only in Aperture, including Allen's suggestions and nothing worked. After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with a work around using iPhoto. Here are the steps:
1. Go into iPhoto and click on "page setup" in the "file" menu.
2. Click on "paper size" and then click "manage custom size".
3. Define the custom size (for margins, I selected the option to let the Epson 2400 set the margins), name it and save it.
4. Close out of iPhoto and go into Aperture.
5. In Aperture, in the "file menu" go to "print image".
6. In the "Paper Size" dialogue box, the newly defined custom size created in iPhoto will appear. Select that as the paper size option.
7. In the "Layout Option" dialogue box, select "fit entire page"
8. In the "Border Option" dialogue box, set the appropriate margins.
9. Finish with the "printer settings" of choice and then print.
Its a cumbersome process, but it doesn't really take that long and I have printed several panoramas now using this work around.

  • Default printer does not appear in custom-sized templates

    I posted this question in the 'Pages' community, but received no replies, so I am possting it again here.
    I now have an Epson XP-750 printer-scanner. I have set it as my default printer in System Preferences. When I create a document in Pages whose paper size is one of the standard ones catered for by the XP-750 or open a previously saved one in one of those sizes, or I open a document from one of the templates provided by Pages, the printer shown in Page Setup is always the XP-750. But if I create a document in a custom size (such as a 9 cm x 14 cm correspondence card), Page Setup shows 'Any Printer' until I re-set it to 'XP-750', and even if I save the document or save it as a template and then re-open it, the printer is always shown as 'Any Printer'.
    Is there any way of making the XP-750 'stick' as the printer shown in Page Setup even in these custom documents?

    Thanks for this, Joe Bailey. I am ignorant of programming and cerainly wouldn't dream of trying to make such a modification. But the interesting thing is that if I create a document in MS Word and give it a custom size, the printer's name and paper size are retained after saving, closure and re-opening, though they are not retained in Pages.
    I want to use Pages for my custom-sized correspondence cards because the database that I use for mail merge is in Numbers. I suppose I could export it as Excel and use that with a Word correspondence card, but it all gets a bit messy, especially when it comes to updating the database, and will be a lot of work, as I have several such cards with different letter-heads, etc.
    I contacted Epson about this problem, and they said it was a matter for the application in which the custom-sized document was created — i.e. Pages in my case — so according to Epson it is not a matter of the printer driver.

  • Problems printing on custom sized paper.

    Hello all,
    I am trying to iron out my problems with printing on custom sized tractor paper (using an impact printer). Every time I print a test page, the printer behaves as if it was loaded with tractor paper that is 11 inches long, rather then the 7 inches that the forms are on.
    Before I list my code, let me explain everything that I have done. I am running Windows XP, so I went to the Printers and Faxes folder, clicked File > Server Properties, and created a custom form size (8.5" wide by 7" long with zero margins). Going back to the Printers and Faxes folder, I right clicked on the impact printer and clicked properties. From there I clicked the Device tab and selected my custom form that I had created for the tractor feed section. I then clicked the general tab and clicked the printing preferences. From there I clicked the Paper/Quality tab and selected Tractor Feed for the source. Then I clicked the advance button and selected my custom form for paper size. I also changed the resolution to 360X180.
    The printer itself has hardware settings for paper size. I've went through the menu and selected 7 inches for the form length.
    Now going to the code, I created the paper object and set it size to 612 for width and 504 for height. I also changed the ImageableArea to the size of the paper (which I think eliminates the margins), and set its orientation to 0, 0. I then set the paper object to the PageFormat, and used drawString to test my settings.
    Program compiles fine. When I run it and click the button, I select the correct printer. I also went through the preferences to make sure that all the setting are correct (especially to make sure my custom form is selected.). The closest I can get the string to the corner of the page is 75, 80. On the paper it measures 7/8" from the left, and 1" from the top.
    I have tested my custom form settings with word 2007. I was able to get the text on the very corner of the paper, and the printer was able to determine where the next form started. I believe that my problem lies within my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • What is your export process for printing custom-sized books?

    I will be printing my first custom-sized book created in Aperture.
    Anyone have much experience doing this?
    I am assuming that exporting to pdf and then sending that file to print is the process, but I'm wondering if the compression will affect the image quality enough to be concerned for a 9''x9'' book?

    Lots of experience here.
    I outsource albums either as single page or double spread. Unfortunately Aperture only allows single page export, not as a full spread (required by some printers).
    Unfortunately the Export options are a little limited, so read on
    If you click on the Print button for your custom sized book, you'll get a dialog. Choose the PDF button at the bottom and a bunch of options will appear.
    If you just want to export a proof for a client to review, you can select Save PDF to Aperture. The files will import as 200dpi JPEGs / TIFFs depending upon the option you choose. You can then export to a sharing service / web album etc.
    If you want to export at a different dpi then DON'T choose the Save PDF to folder as JPEG option... again you'll get just 200dpi images. So what you can do is choose the Save as PDF option. When you choose that it will export the whole book as single pages in a PDF, with the embedded JPEGs (fully quality jpeg 12) at 350dpi (I know as I've checked this)....
    You can then do 2 things:
    1. For services that require a single pages, run an automator action to run through the PDF and export the images at your desired DPI and change the colour profile (eg sRGB). Your images are then exported to the same folder. Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Folder%20as%20JPEG.zip
    2. For services that require a double page spread instead, run an automator action to run through the PDF, change the colour profile and DPI and then import to Aperture.
    What I do is have an entirely separate project called Album Proofs and import all images into there. When the action runs, it will ask where to put the images - place them in Album Proofs. I then have a custom book size that is twice the width of the album you are creating (e.g. if making a 12x9, the size is 24x9) with no margins or spacing. Then create a template album (you can reuse by right clicking and selecting Duplicate Book) that has two images per page, each image taking up EXACTLY half of the page (again no margins or spacing). I then drag the images I imported into this template, then auto-fill unplaced images. Your images are then layed out as spreads... So now what you do is re-export using the Save as PDF print option. Then run the action described in 1 above.
    Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Aperture%20as%20JPEG.zip . If it doesn't work use the other action above and just import manually.
    Hope this helps

  • Printing on custom-sized pages (10.625" x 11.69") with my hp photosmart pro b8350.

    I need to be able to print on custom-sized pages (10.625" x 11.69") with my HP Photosmart Pro B8350.  In fact, it's the only reason I have this printer.  I used to be able to, and don't know why I can't now.  I did upgrade my OS to Win7 a while back.  That may have been the killer.  It would really annoy me if my OS upgrade has rendered my printer totally useless.
    (In case there's no solution to my problem, then here's my next question......)
    If I can't do this anymore, I will need to buy a new printer that WILL allow me to print these special custom pages.  Any suggestions?

    The envelope size that you might be talking about is a 6.75 Regular, or 6.75R.  If you were printing on window envelopes, it would be 6.75W.  In all my life, I have never heard of a #6 ep.  Yes, you have a challenge with 6.75 because the rollers are not in the correct place for this size of item.  In order for me to print 10R envelopes, I have to insert a precut sheet of paper inside the envelope so that the envelope pulls correctly and doesn't get jammed. You might try this with your 6.75 and see if that works for you.

  • Paper mismatch on Envy 114 - trying to do custom-sized paper

    Issue is:  I have custom-sized paper for invitations - 5X6.5, 5X6, 5X5.5 & 5X5.  I am not able to print from Microsoft Word 2007, I'm on Windows XP.  
    I tried to follow the directions on the support page, but when I try to choose the "paper size", there is no "custom" listing on the pull down list to add a custom size....Help!

    Hi there kellybrooklyn,
    It seems custom print sizes may not be available with your printer software. Check out this post by Travis_C, he details using an alternate generic driver to obtain the custom print sizes you are looking for:

  • How to Create a Custom Canvas Print Order System

    Hi,
    I own a canvas print website but if anyone wants to order a 'custom' canvas print from their own photo they have to email me and I add effects and email them back. I'd like to move away from this and setup an automated system in Flash where the user can upload their image, select their canvas size, apply some effects, and then order online.
    If you Google 'photos on canvas' there are literally loads of websites that have this functionality. I've got the time and will to learn & build my own version, and after looking at quite a few implementations I think Flash will be the best format to build this in (and I like the idea of keeping it all within the Flash environment rather than mixing php & javascript). www  dot canvasdezign dot co dot uk/yourphotos.php is a good example - they use uploadify to upload the image and then its all in flash from there on.
    I'd really appreciate it if any of you guys could point me in the right direction of where you think I should start with this project, and how you'd approach it? I'm relatively new to Flash but find with any new language the best way to learn is 'on the job'. I know that image handling can be difficult in any language so if there's a 'good' way of approaching this then I'd love to learn of it now rather than further down the line.
    As a first step I'd like to get it working without the option of adding fancy effects to the images - a nice and simple image upload > select size > resize image to fit > save & upload image (actually, probably a more realistic first step will be having a single standard size rather than options).
    Any pointers on how to approach this would be really appreciated. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5 with ActionScript 3.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  • How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6?

    How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6? I have read references to the "desktop" setting but cannot find it. I am trying to find the right settings for a 1080 px x 486 px video (which I need to qualify for hi res on Vimeo).  I need to output a 450 x 1000 px video for
    my website. Ideally, I'd like the sequence settings as well as the output settings. I am using still shots- no actual video.

    What are the exact properties of the still images, particularly the pixel dimensions and pixel aspect ratio (PAR).* The letterboxing (black bars top & bottom) is most likely a result of a mismatch in these settings. If this is the case, then the easiest fix is to make sure not only the dimensions but the PAR match.
    Say for instance your source images are 1000x1000 with a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) and your sequence is set also set to 1000x1000 but with the PAR set to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), the result would be letterboxing as seen here:
    *if you're not sure about the PAR of your source images, right click on one of them in the Project panel and select Properties.

    You know, in a user exit or a BADi you can access any variable of the program you want.
    Just find what which program calls the Exit User, put a break-point in it, and find the variable you need to access.
    Then add this kind code in your Exit :
    DATA: l_var TYPE ....
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_var>    TYPE ANY.
    ASSIGN ('(PGMNAME)variable') TO <fs_var>.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      l_var = <fs_var>.
    ENDIF.
    Same thing for a table :
    DATA: lt_var TYPE TABLE OF....

    ASSIGN ('(PGMNAME)table[]') TO <fs_var>.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.

  • Workflow for creating poster-sized prints?

    I'm planning to use Scott Kirby's "increase by 10%" technique (essentially, multiple 10% image resizes) for turning small photos into poster-sized prints. However, I don't know when in the workflow process this should be done. Is it the last step (i.e., after sharpening) or the first step (before cropping, color correction, etc.) or someplace in between?
    Any suggestions?

    I would crop initially. Next I would try the serial 10% resampling process to see if it yields an acceptable result. I would sharpen last. Recently a poster advised sharpening as an intermediate step, but I remain unconvinced.
