Printing too big

I am a professional photographer and print my folio on an Epson 2100, the print files are held on a desktop hardrive and I have printed three folios with them already using my older titanium powerbook. I just got the latest Aluminium 15" Powerbook and this week started printing another fourth folio from the very same print files on the hard drive, this time however instead of coming out 28cm in height as they always have, they are coming out 29.5cm in height. I have checked all the Epson print settings, scale at 100%, paper size, margins etc. All correct. I tried printing the file from a different application, instead of Photoshop, I used Adobe Lightroom, still 29.5cm in height. I went back to the old laptop, 28cm high, no problem. This means the printer is fine and that something on the new Powerbook is amiss. Can anyone suggest where to start looking?
I am on 10.4.4 and have the latest epson driver for my 2100. The older powerbook is also running 10.4.4.

So I have managed to get the correct output size by rotating the image in Photoshop and printing it as a portrait print in the Epson software but this is clearly a fault as both images are the same size originals but output as different sizes in portrait and landscape formats. Can't explain why it doesn't happen on the older Powerbook.

  • Pdf and preview printing too big

    This problem just began: When I click to print a pdf in either Adobe Reader or Preview, it prints off the page, way too big. The image is fine in the preview window. It happens identically on two printers. Gmail and google and Word docs print fine.
    I have clicked FIT and scale in the Reader program, but the result is the same. It's obvioulsy a setting, but the answer is not obvious.

    looking again, it prints badly in Chrome, Safari, pdf, preview but NOT Firefox.
    And, I was wrong about Gmail. it prints wrong from gmail, too.

  • Margins print too big in pages

    I'm using an imac running 10.8.4 and the latest version of Word and the latest version of Pages.
    It's a long story.  I've got a document I created in Word.  It prints beautifully in word.  But when I convert it to a pdf, the links in the TOC cease to work.
    If I open the document in Pages and convert that to a PDF the links in the TOC are perfect.
    However, the Pages document has massive margins.  When I change them ALL to 0, yes, to zero, they are still huge even tho on the wysiwyg page they have effectively disappeared. When I try to print them, they are huge again.
    And when I save them as pdfs, they are just as huge. 
    I'm attaching screen shots:

  • Pictures that i print from my I-Mac print too Big?

    When I go to I-Photo and attempt to print to my HP-7210 printer it prints the photos bigger than the paper.  In other words you some of the picture in the original picture on the monitor.  Normally loosing a small amount of the print is not a problem but I am printing screen captures from my I phone and part of the print I would like to have is lost because the printed picture is probably 9x11-1/2 and the text outside of the border is important.
    Can you tell me how to print i-phone prints so the picture is all on the paper.

    Hello,
    Different Printers will have different choices, some even on the printer itself where you put the paper, but in iPhoto look for settings like this when the Print Dialog opens...
    Or under iPhoto's File>Page Setup menu item...

  • Prints too big

    Whenever I print from Aperture 3 I find that what comes out of my printer is larger than I asked for. For example, if I print a small print at 15x10 cm what I get is more like 15.3x10.2. Is this normal? Not hugely important in the great scheme of things but it does annoy me and, if I'm to frame my prints, they often don't fit in the frame.
    I'm using a still very serviceable Epson SP950 and printing at 1440 dpi through the latest Epson driver (not Gutenprint).

    Peter,
    Are you specifying to print borderless? If so, it is standard with Epson printer drivers to oversize so as to properly bleed the edges. Many of the printers and drivers, however, have an expansion setting where you set this expansion to zero. Both my Epson models have that.
    This has always been an issue when printing borderless, and is not new to Aperture.

  • Print window frame too big

    Now that I'm running Firefox 4.0.1 (on a Vista 64-bit PC), often when I want to print a web page, the frame around the Windows Print box is too big to fit the screen. The buttons that are critical for controlling print functions, and in particular the print command button itself, lie below the Taskbar, out of sight and unreachable in spite of all attempts to reposition the window using the mouse.
    I've checked my screen resolution and it's right for my monitor, unchanged since previous versions of Firefox.
    I know I can print by hitting Enter on the keyboard, but it's always taking a chance because, unable to see any buttons, I can't confirm that the settings are as I want them to be.
    Is there a solution?

    I am trying to resolve a similar problem on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. Dialog boxes are being displayed that fill the entire screen truncating the OK, Cancel and Apply buttons that should appear at the bottom of the dialog box. This is happening on all contol panel and games settings dialog boxes. I have tried the Toshiba zoom settings (FN+Space), but this has not foxes the problem.

  • Scanned doc now too big for print

    Hi,
    I have scanned this sheet and modified it, now i need to print it back but photoshop says its too big for print.
    Indeed it just printed a portion of it.
    Can someone with experience of this kind of issue explain me the technicalities and what should i do?
    I know photoshop only when it comes to chop pictures, put loads of filters and make them jolly, i am not into stuffs like scan/sizing/printing, etc.,  so please don't explain to go down to the basic basics in your explanation.
    Thanks

    Well, when you say "Manufacturer's software" I assume you mean the scanner's software and NOT Photoshop.  It is best to scan directly into Photoshop by using the menu File>Acquire Image>[select your scanner source--either the scanner name or TWAIN driver].  When this is chosen your scanner's driver will launch a "plug-in" software interface that will allow you to scan the document and set a marquee around what you want to scan and also choose the resolution.  After that you will be able to save the document -- give it a unique name like "file.psd" -- and then make changes -- again give it a unique name like "file_edited.psd".   The document measurements you gave us seem to fit within the bounds of a United States (US) Letter size document which is 8.5 inches x 11 inches.  If your printer has the ability to print borderless documents you should be able to print this document without a problem with a resolution of 300dpi.  It is possible that it would not be able to if there is not enough memory on your printer and that is why you get the error message.  (But as a JPG image the file size will be compressed, so I'm not really sure why your document would be too large.)

  • How do I print a spreadsheet too big for A4 paper?

    My spreadsheet it a little too big to print on normal A4 paper, and the 'Inspector' will not allow me to change the 'Content Scale' of the document before printing. Any suggestions?

    Use the content scale slider at the bottom of the document.

  • Too big Printer spooler file

    Hi,
    I'm using PrintJob Class to print and I have the problem that the files the program build in the spooler printer are too big ( 2MB/page A4), I think the problem could be in the font that I'm using but I don't know why because I'm using "Courier New". I do:
    PrintJob pg = new PrintJob(...);
    Font fon = new Font("courier new", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    Graphics gra = pg.getGraphics();
    gra.setFont(fon);
    gra.drawString("vvvvvvvvvv",10,10);
    Thanks in advance!!

    You seem focused on the difference between 33 megabytes binary and a 44 megabytes transfer — the messages have to be encoded as SMTP mail was never intended as a binary transfer mechanism — mail servers transfer printable text messages — and the text-encoded attached binary files are inherently going to be larger than the original files.
    You're going to have to raise the mail server limits (which requires administrative access to the mail server), or find an alternate means of transferring the file — mail servers aren't very efficient at large transfers, large files tend to blow out mail server storage quotas, and blow out mail files.   Or chunk up the file into smaller files, send the chunks independently, and then concatenate the file remotely.  (There are tools around to do this — at the command line, have a look at the zipsplit tool — but I'd generally discourage this approach as it adds effort and complexity to the process.)
    The usual approach is a file transfer service.   Dropbox or SpiderOak or some other file hosting or file transfer service are the most common approaches here, and are also more efficient than the overhead involved with large attachments sent via a mail server.   Many of these file-hosting services offer more than enough storage here, and often as part of a free service tier.  
    Some folks can and do run their own file-hosting services, but that generally involves configuring and managing a server system and the associated network connections.

  • I created a magazine using a IDD template including bleeds. When I exported to make a PDF, it cut off part of the document when uploading for printing. When I incude bleeds, it makes the document too big for printing. I need help :)

    Right, so to advise you we'd need to know the particulars of MagCloud's spec for your project; format, trim size, bleed, etc.
    It's doubtful that anything happened "when uploading for printing," so long as you were uploading a PDF, as opposed to the native InDesign file. Did the PDF look right to you before uploading?

  • The print is too big when I print something from a website

    This is probably the fault of my computer & not Firefox but when I print something from a website the print size is too big. How can I change this...

    File > Page Setup = '''Scale''' <br />
    100% is usually best
    If you can't see the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, etc - hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily reveal the Menu Bar.

  • Print dialog box too big

    Adobe Reader 8.1.2; Windows XP; screen resolution 800 by 600 pixels.
    Normally, whenever I print a PDF, I click on the printer icon on the toolbar or go to File > Print. The Print dialog appears, and I click on the OK button at the bottom of the box.
    Recently, for some unknown reason, the Print dialog appears too big on my screen, and I cannot see the OK button at the bottom of the box.
    However, when I change the screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels, I can see the OK (to print button), but all other text, icons, etc., are too small to read.
    Ultimately, I need to see the OK (to print button)and the text, icons, etc., need to be sized larger, to the 800 by 600 pixels resolution.
    TIA,
    Jerry D.

  • Saving animated gif error - canvas size too big?

    Hi,
    i have been asked to create an animated gif which has a snow effect in the background. The animation runs pretty well using the pattern style to move the animated snow down. The problem is when I try to export the animation the save for web dialogue window freezes and I can't quit photoshop. I have tried to make the canvas (image size) smaller and it works.
    Is there a memory problem with creating animations in Photoshop if the document size is too big, im running a 3000x1000px at 72dpi
    TThe animation would be used on a web app, which a script could probably do a better job, but I need to try this first.
    thanks
    lister

    Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
    First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
    So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
    How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
    Is this getting you going in the right direction?
    I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

  • Score printout: files are too big for printout since Pro 7

    Hi there,
    I have a serious problem printing scores with Pro7: the files appear to be too big, so I can't print them. When I try to print a simple 1 page part, I get the error: "printer out of memory" and I have a HP Laserjet with 8 Mb memory. A PDF from a 3 page part made in Logic 6.3 is 102Kb, a PDF from the same 3 page part opened in Pro7 is 2,4Mb! Everything seems normal: page setup 100% etc.
    When I open a song made in Pro7 with Logic 6.3, the files are much much smaller. Does anybody know what's wrong, now I can't print scores with Pro7!
    Thanx, Peter

    Hello Rohan,
    Thanks for your effort. I created a PDF-file with a totally different printerdriver. The result is the same: I get a very large file. A 3 page part PDF-file is 2,4 Mb, also with the other fake driver. I'm used to send PDF-files of sheet music through the internet and files this big are no option.
    And very annoying: I can't print out scores using Pro7!
    Best regards,
