Howto avoid over-resolution when printing & Graphics.scale?

Hello,
The application I've created uses I Graphics.scale to generate thinner lines which act as cells of a grid.
The problem is that I've to print as thin lines as possible, but if I scale too much my lines aren't printed because the printer's DPI is lower than what I've set my Graphics2d object :-/
Are there any existing solutions to overcome this problem?
I would be really happy about any hints, since I was not able to find a solution ... really great would be if it the solution would be java-1.3 compatible.
Thank you in advance, lg Clemens

Hello,
thanks for your comment, but I had already this information. I want a good grey scale print with a low resolution because if you make the resolution high the file archives become quite big which costs money for hardware.
My personal impression is, that you can't solve this problem because it is problem of the printing drivers that SAP uses. So one has to look for better third party solutions or wait until SAP has better printing drivers.

  • When printing grey scale on a MX882 printer, is the color ink used at all?

    We set all of our home PCs to print gray scale on our printer, an MX882 (serial # ACAT48275) in order to not use so much color ink.  That seemed to be working very well until the big black ink cartridge (the 226BK) emptied out.  I didn't think anything of it because the small 225 BK cartridge was still full.    The 225 BK is about 1/2 full now, but all of a sudden, the color inks (226C and 226M) are empty, with the 226Y 1/2 empty.
    My question is, if the BIG black cartridge (226BK) empties, does it not "switch over" to the 225 BK?  Or does is start "creating" black by using both magenta and cyan?
    Thanks.

    Hello.
    If plain, letter sized paper is used, the printer should use the large black tank for grayscale printing.  If specialty paper or duplex printing is used, the printer would use the dye based inks.    If grayscale printing is not enabled, the printer may create 'composite' blacks by using mixtures of the color inks.  This may occur when graphic or web-based printouts are performed.
    The reason for the two different black ink tanks is for the different types of printing your unit is able to perform.  They are not intended as backups to each other.  The larger black tank is pigment based, and is primarily used for standard black text printing or output.  The smaller black ink tank is dye based like the color inks, and is used for photo and graphics output.

  • Photoshop Text Blurry/Low Resolution when Printed

    In photoshop I created a document that is 8.5x11, the size of standard printing paper, with a letter in a handwritten font. When I print my letter the print quality is not so great. I have resolution for the image set to 100. There is a little bit of a blur around the edges of the font and overall it is not very crisp.
    If I take that same font when printed through microsoft word, it is very crisp, sharp and high quality.
    What might be the disconnect between the two? Why is the same document much more crisp and clean when printed through word than through photoshop?
    Thanks

    Here is a great video explaining the issue:
    I would recommend a resolution at 300dpi, but that is often dependant on the image you are printing. I often set it at 300ppi for a photo quality.
    Here is the link if the video doesn't display: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/pixels-image-size-resolution-photoshop/

  • How avoid photoblack ink when printing documents

    I need answer for my son's MAC now, and when I get home, using Windows 8.1.  Two different all in one printers:
    MAC - 7250 e; Windows 401c [I think].  On Mac I can't find how to access print quality while printing Google Map.  It won't print because photoblack cartridge is empty, but I don't want to use Photoblack.  On Windows I almost never print photos, but Photoblack keeps running out.  If I don't solve the ink use problem, my next printer won't be an HP even if it is top rated for everything but ink use.

    Hi @elnsie 
    When a cartridge is empty it needs to be replaced, even if you are not printing with that particular cartridge. If the printer allowed you to continue printing with a depleted cartridge air would pull through and damage the printer. Basically, the printer is protecting itself.
    As for stopping the printer from using the photo black when you are not printing photos, you can set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC and that should ensure that it uses that the black ink and not the photo ink. Please take a look @MissTeriLynn 's post regarding this very issue; Black vs photoblack
    I hope this helps.

  • Low resolution when printing photographs after editing in Iphoto

    Hi there, I would be grateful for some advice. I took some photographs and imported them into Iphoto - they are all approx 3 MB. I edited some of them in Iphoto, cropped a few, did a few in B&W. I burned them onto a disc and took them into my local photo shop. They told me that the resolution was not high enough for them to be printed. When I looked i saw that the edited photos had been reduced to around 700KB. Why is this and what can i do???!!!

    Burning them to disk via the Share menu creates a mini library on the disk intended for use by iPhoto only. What was used for the prints must have been the thumbnail files of the library.
    What you need to do to get the edited and cropped photos to disk is export them to a folder on the desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option. Use Kind=jpeg, JPEG Quality=Maximum, Size=Full Size. Then burn the folder of files to disk via the Finder.

  • When printing graphics are greyed out with an X

    I am probably asking a stupid question here but I am not having any luck figuring it out.  I am a new user so sorry if this is a dumb question! I am trying to print from InDesign and a couple of my linked graphics will print as a grey box with an X going through it. I have tried 3 different printers. It also does the same thing when creating a PDF file. I am using CS4. The graphic that is causing issues was created by another user in CS2. Does anyone know what I have done to cause this problem and how to fix it. Thank you!

    I think I may have stumbled onto something here. First off the linked
    file causing the problem was an Illustrator file not a PDF. Sorry about
    that! The file was created in CS2 in 2008. I was going to make a copy of
    the file and open it up with CS4, save it then relink to the new file. I
    quickly found out I no longer have access to that part of our network. I
    can't even open the file or copy the file to another location. The funny
    thing is the links never showed up as being broken or having any issues
    whatsoever. I am going to pursue this with our IT group. Hopefully by
    Monday when I am back at work I can get this all resolved! Thank you for
    all your help!!

  • How do I maintain resolution when printing to PDF?

    I'm printing an edited file, 36" X 24", to a PDF document.  When I do, the resolution of the original document is severly degraded.
    I've tried changing page sizes, fooling with teh driver, etc, all to no avail.  Using Acrobat X Standard.
    Am I missing something obvious?

    It seems you consider the 36" x 24" as the resolution, but it's the dimensions.
    The resolution only applies to anything that is bitmap, making it look better or worse, depending on the resolution setting.
    But if you set the paper size to 36" x 24", you'll get a PDF with that dimensions and a variable resolution. It depends on where the PDF is used. For screen, 150dpi is usually sufficient. For images, there is an additional quality setting. For printing, 300dpi or higher is rec'd. Resolution can be set in the PDF printer properties.

  • Avoiding multiple renders when printing to tape

    I'm currently using FCEHD 3.5 and working in HDV. When I print to tape in HDV, it can take quite a bit of time for FCE to render the file it is going to output to the tape.
    If I wanted to create multiple tapes of the same file, is there a way to avoid rendering each time before I print?
    In other words, can I export/render the movie once, then print the exported file to tape? If so, how?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Yes, alas HDV needs rendering each time when you "print to tape" .
    That's because FCE process HDV by converting it to "Apple Intermediate Codec" upon capturing (the same thing for iMovie HD), and printing to tape needs the reverse process: converting from Apple intermediate Codec to HDV (mpeg 2 in reality, with GOP-group of images- at each .5 second).
    Final Cut Pro can read and print HDV natively.
    Give a look to:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=493862&tstart=0
    One workaround for your needs, is to connect 2 HDV camcorders together and record from one to another.

  • Howto set monitor resolution when I start with the monitor turned of ?

    Hello,
    I use the onboard Intel HD 4000 to display on my Dell monitor which works out of the box with native 2560x1600 resolution as long as I boot with the monitor turned on (both console and X11).
    The problem is that sometimes I don't boot with the monitor being powered on and  just need the monitor later.
    I found in aur the program read-edid which gives me the needed info in case my monitor isn't powered at boot.
    How could I use that information, for the console (I guess it's relared to grub2) and for X11 ?
    Thank you very much !!!

  • Avoiding split images when printing html

    I am writing html pages in dreamweaver and when I print from safari, the images are split between pages. Is there a way around this either in my html coding or in the 'save to pdf' in the printing?

    Could be bad for your situation, but the only way I have successfully gotten around some of the issues you're describing is by outputtings static html files and opening in the user's local browser.
    In your case that could be a large amount of code and you also have issues with whatever local browser they're using.  (God forbid they have IE then you'll be outputting your html / canvas and it still won't print.)
    Unfortunately I don't really have an answer for you and I don't think Adobe does yet.  (You can see my basic workaround for printing to the user's local browser here: http://vfoo.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/adobe-air-print-css-and-html-printing-hack/ Note:  I don't think my workaround will be the best for your because relying on the user's browser for canvas printing is a bit of Russian Roulette)

  • Whats The Best Resolution To Use When Printing Excellent Quality Photos?

    Hi all
    My grandparents have given me quite a big task to do as they want me to edit, save on to disc or discs and print there old family photos, I am going to edit the photos from Photoshop CS3 Extended at the highest possible Resolution so the photos look amazing when printed from a normal printer or at a proper photo lab. What is the highest possible resolution I could use on the photos without making them look all pixelated (or what ever it looks like) when printed? I was told by a friend that 300 pixels/inch would yield better but is it possible I could go higher? they are family photos so I would like them to look as amazing as possible for the next generation which will be me, my cousins and our future families.
    Many Thanks for reading this and Many Thanks to the people who will reply to it. Very much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Oliver

    Hi ID. Awe
    Thank you for the resolution pixel/inch number but I will use 300ppi on Photoshop CS3 Extended because it seems popular on here and my friend did say 300 pixels/inch would yield better, okay so I should not go over board blimey as I wont be able to control how it is down-sampled for output, I had better be careful then. My scanners resolution is 4800 dpi optical and up to 19,200 dpi enhanced and the colour is: 48-bit and 8-bit greyscale but when I look in the scanner settings it only goes up to 24 bit colour hmmm? How do I down-sample to 8-bit for output? Do I use Photoshop for that? As my printer will not allow me to down-sample the 8-bit colour. I just want the photos to look amazing thats all.
    Hi John Joslin
    If you ask you shall receive, I will be getting my photos printed at Kodak or at the Devon Camera Centre. I do have a inkjet printer it is the HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one= printer, fax, scanner, copier. Thank you for the warning John it is nice to know if I was to use my inkjet printer but I am going to have my photos developed at a photo lab so the photos will last allot longer. My printer resolution is 1200 and up to 4800 dpi optimised.
    Hi Donald Reese
    The highest resolution my scanner can go up to is 19,200 dpi, could you explain to me what interpolation is please? is it another selection I can select within the scanner settings? That does sound logical to have extra data to downsize from, instead of trying to upsize from a low resolution scan because I suppose it would make the photo look a bit pixelated.
    Hi Gernot Hoffmann
    That is interesting that by using 300ppi or 288ppi which is good for an accurate pixel preview by zoom=400% and this is OK for the reproduction of photos by high quality offset printing and for large format inkjets and for inkjet proof printing thank you. Thank you for the simplified version:-D
    Hi Ed Grenzig
    I did think that scanning is more important but I did not know how high I should go with the resolution on that either, thats true that the scans can be no better than the picture that I am scanning. Yeah I suppose it also is trial and error using different settings. Extra pixels won't make your picture any sharper than the print. That is what they said about the freeview box until they found out that it made the picture clear as it had a higher resolution then the tv itself but I will give it ago.
    Yeah good idea I will experiment myself on similar photos to see if increasing the resolution helps and how much it helps, depending on the type of photo. Yes I definitely will keep my original scans because as you said I can always go back and re-edit them in the future. I agree all editing software will get better as time goes on and they will probably laugh at my edits when they look at the capability of their future software. True that my present printed photos will not last forever as they will deteriorate. As johntolliday below said he usually scans his photos at 600 ppi and I will probably do the same or higher if needs be. Thanks for the great tips, I did think could I use my camera to take photos of the original photos if they are to big for my scanner and of course I can like you said, I would not shot the photos though as I do not want holes in the photo lol.
    Hi johntolliday
    Yeah I will be getting the photos professionally printed at a photo lab as you said Unless you are using they will not last as long as a print printed on photo paper by the very expensive photo lab machines and I do not have archive quality inks or paper and anyway they are to expensive. Cool that you do most of your prints and enlargements online and have been very pleased with the results. I also thought that inkjet printers are not really up to the job when it comes down to printing excellent quality photos.
    I will try your suggestion and scan my photos at 600 ppi or more depending on the picture quality, I do not seem to have a selection for 16 bit colour on my scanner settings I only have Millions of colours (24-bit), 256 colours
    (8-bit), 256 colour web palette, 256 colour system palette, 256 grey shades (8-bit greyscale) and Black & White
    (1-bit) so I guess I will have to stick with 24 bit colour. Sounds like a good idea to down sample to 300 on Photoshop and print from there. I have never enlarged photos before but there might be a time when I might need to.
    A huge thank you to everyone who has posted on here you all have helped me out allot and I know where I am going now before I have to say I was going around blindfolded, if you have any more tips about scanning or even printing please feel free to post. Thank You again.
    Kind Regards, Oliver

  • HP officejet Pro 8000 Can't print when color cart is empty enven when printing in grey scale

    I do not use color in my printing.  Nonetheless when the printer says my color cartdridge is empty I can not print.  I spent a $100 on color cartdridge and never used them.  They now show empy and I can't print.  Is there a work around or should I just junk this printer.  Thanks for your help.
    Bob

    Hello Bobmcclammy,
    I can understand the frustration when the printer, in your case the Officejet Pro 8000, stops and tells you to change inks you are not even using. I too have fought with this in the past. Unfortunately, there is no "work around" for such an issue, at least that I have been able to find.
    Even when printing black text only, for example, a resume, the printer will be using a subtle amount of color as a base. Printhead maintenance also will chip away at the ink, this is to ensure the ink is not drying up within the print system. This information will explain more: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
    What I have done in order to get the most out of the printer ink is, set the printer in a black only grey scale mode. This needs to be set in the printing preferences in the print driver installed on the computer.
    The inks will still need to be replaced, but it should help for the future.

  • Acrobat 10.1.5 extra graphics when printing to pdf

         When printing from MS Project to Acrobat, I get extra lines(thin blue/purple, see attached image) on the last half of the document. It looks fine in my coworkers, she is running Acrobat 9 though. Any thoughts?

    Starting with the image itself, what kind is it? Where is it located, locally or on a network? How is it inserted in the FM file, i.e.  by reference or as an OLE object?
    Is this a single file or a book with multiple chapters? If it's multiple chapters, does the graphic behave correctly when PDFing the individual chapter? Are there other images of the same type and location that do print correctly?
    Can you confirm whether either or both systems have had the MS hotfix 952909 applied:
