Printing banner images from photoshop CS3

Hi, I have successfully printed banners 1200mm x 297mm from my Xerox Phaser 7750 and Illustrator (Vector art). When I try to print a photographic image from Photoshop it all prints fine except the last 300mm or so. The image has white bars and properly printed image evenly spaced from top to bottom of the print. I have reduced the resolution and file size but the problem is still there with wider bars the lower the resolution. The original image was 160mb but I have the same issue with a 20mb image. ALso tried placing in Illustrator but get similar problems.
I assume this is a memory issue but I thought lowering the file size drastically would fix it, yet it doesn't. The Printer has a relatively low amount of memory (384mb) but I would like to know if this is the real cause before I dive and buy more memory - big chips are still expensive on this.
Any help would be very welcome.
Thanks. Ant

Hi, I will try printing from inDesign but I have managed to get an image to print out by changing the quality in the print driver to standard - it was previously on 'Enhanced' or 'Photo'. I had tried from Illustrator and had similar problems (printed OK with Illy created art though) so thought it may be a printer memory issue which does seem to be the case. I assumed that by reducing the file size/resolution it would print but it seemed to be the image quality that uses more computing power than the pixel count of the file. I guess a different RIP may also help as it could use the much higher RAM of the Mac rather than the printers meagre 384mb.
I had originally thought it may be a P/Shop issue as I had problems printing to Epson inkjet some months ago and then Epson and Adobe seemed to blame each other!
Thanks for the reply.

  • Post script error printing from Photoshop CS3

    Getting PS error when trying to print to new Lexmark c543dn from Photoshop (CS3).  Prints endless pages with multiple symbols/characters.  Otherwise prints fine from any other programs.  Worked fine with 9 year old Epson inkjet.  Any solutions? Lexmark doesn't have any updated drivers that address this. 

    Amy, your question would get a better response from the Photoshop general Forum. Post there if you have NOT already done so…

  • Extracting "File Properties" metadata from Photoshop CS3

    After processing scanned images in Photoshop CS3, I am up loading them to a DAM solution that has the capability to extract embedded metadata using custom defined keys. I would like to know the syntax/structure of embedded metadata labels that display in the "File Properties" template of Bridge CS3 (e.g. File Size, Dimensions, Color Space) so that I can extract that metadata.
    Thank you!

    I have this printer and use Leopard, but I don't have this problem I am useing the 6.2 driver. There are two drivers on their website, I am using only the driver that came with the machine. I would re-install the driver. Secondly and this caught me up a bit at first. You open the CS print manager, press print and then the Epson driver emerges, there i s no direct access from CS3 to the driver. Secondly in the Epson driver there are two or three set of drop down menus, the one that permits setting the paper profile is not exactly where you expect it, just have a look through all the menus(I am not sitting in fronto of my mac right now so I am of limited help). Good luck.

  • Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

    Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

    You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

  • From Photoshop CS3 to Suite Production Premium CS4 - order failed

    Hello,
    I have a little problem with buying a product from Adobe. I have Photoshop CS3 and I want to buy CS4 Suite Production Premium. When I search for this product and check the upgrade options it says that I can upgrade from my Photoshop CS3 version. However, when I order this product I get an order cancelation after some minutes without any reason - and no, it is not a CreditCard problem - I checked everything. All data is correct. Where there would be a real problem, why I don't get a call from them?
    Then I called the sales hotline and the guy on the line told me that I need the Upsell version and that he can't check why the online order was canceled. Ok - I ordered this upsell version for a higher price than the online upgrade version. Some hours later I got a weird email from Adobe saying again that my order has been canceled. ??? I wonder whats going on there. I can't reach the sales guy on the weekend so I have to wait and I know that he can't give any information about why the order has been canceld again (why that?). That way it seems I am not able to order any product from Adobe and honestly I don't want to order it from Adobe directly anymore.
    May it be possible that I can't upgrade or upsell from Photoshop CS3 alone to the Production Premium Suite CS4 - even it saying like this on their website.
    Also, why is there only the upgrade version available on the online store and not the upsell version and why do I see an upgrade option even it must be called upsell version?
    Why is the upgrade manager: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgrade saying the same that I CAN UPGRADE from Photoshop CS3 to this Suite.
    I am speechless about that much trouble with a company like Adobe. And yes, this is my first try to order a Suite from Adobe directly. Now I am very unsure what to buy, where to buy and how I get this to work.
    Btw. Customer Support didn't answer my emails about this.
    Thanks for any hint!
    Andreas

    I did that twice and called them. They are always saying that they can't see what the problem is but they can setup a new order and try again - hello? - try and error ordering. I will not order on the Adobe Store anymore. This was the first and my last time I tried to order on their site or via a sales agent from their sales team. Also, when I see their emails that came back about the cancelation: No Subject line, weird emailaddress and with some really confusing product description and with a standard answer. I first thought it was some spam. I am really disapointed about their service.
    I also found out that the sales guy put in a wrong phone number and I can remember we checked the number three times. I mean, I don't order a pair of socks here - I want a pro sales service for a pro product where I pay a lot of money for.

  • Exporting text as an image from Photoshop

    I am using a non web safe font and so I am exporting the body of text as an image from Photoshop. Canvas size 900 x 600 pix 72 dpi.  However when viewing in the web browser the text looks soft and pixelated.  
    Does anybody know how I can solve this?   All I want is sharp lookinh text!
    J

    Hi Vikas
    I export files from Photoshop as png's at 72 dpi.  
    Here is our current holding page.  http://www.iheartmylife.co.uk/ All the text on this page has been loaded in as png's from Photoshop along with the image. As you can see none of it is as sharp as it could be.
    Many thanks for your assistance.

  • How to insert cropped images from photoshop without the white background

    Basically all I want to do is take a peice of writing from a video and insert it into another video. To do this I've took a screenshot of the font from the video and imported it into photoshop. I've then cropped/cut/took the the peice of writing I want, letter by letter. I want to be able to insert it into another video, but whenever I attempt to do it, I have the default white background of photoshop. Is there anyway to insert an image from photoshop, without taking the background with it, or even insert a layer from photoshop straight into final cut pro? Sorry if this is confusing.

    I don't think so. I cropped the letters, put them each an individual file, removed the background, saved them as a TIF then tried to import them onto Final Cut Pro, but a white background still appeared in the TIF file. Basically I just want to make the background transparent I believe.

  • Problem: importing a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere.

    Dear Adobe community,
    I am trying to import a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere Pro CC. Whatever file format I choose to export from Photoshop, Premiere Pro CC will not import the file correctly. When I import is, two things occur: 1) the image gets imported, but the white background is still there or 2) the image gets an error "The importer reported a generic error".
    Does anyone have an idea how I can get an image with a white background transparent into Premiere Pro CC.
    Specs:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, eind 2013)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB RAM
    1536MB Intel Iris videocard
    Thanks!
    Christiaan

    You need to make sure the image has an alpha channel.
    Images like jpeg dont have an alpha channel.
    Psd or png do and the image has to be RGB.
    Make sure the background in PS is also transparant.

  • How do I bring tags on images from photoshop elements 8 to photoshop CS6

    How do I bring tags on images from photoshop elements 8 to photoshop CS6

    Mylenium wrote:
    Ask in the PSE/ PS forums. The simple answer is, though, that unless they are emebedded in the image or exist as sidecar XMP files PS won't use them. It doesn't look inside the PSE catalog files/ database.
    Mylenium
    ... which means you have to use the menu /file/write metadata to files so that the tags and ratings are written in the files or sidecar files themselves.

  • Taking images from Photoshop and taking them to Dreamweaver

    Why is it that when i take my images from photoshop and save them for the web, that when i open them in my dreamweaver html file they have lost quality and saturation in the image?

    There are 2 ways to do it correctly one is better then the other. The best way to bring an image into
    DW is to first create a layer based sliced and the copy & paste it direc
    tly into DW. When you do that you will get a Image optimize window, this is a built-in Firework image
    optimizer it does a much better job a maintaing quality will compressing image size. The second optioin is to use the save to web feature. Tehy work the same DW/FW does it better. If your image quality still is not what you want play around with your optimization settings without seeein the image I can't recommend the best setting but play around in your 2up/4up window.
