Reply to "print one image 4 times/page"

The original question was posted by pap0007, and then followed up on by "PRL Sean" who made very a very apt point. I wanted to echo it in that thread, but there are no "Reply" links or buttons, so I'm posting it here and referencing the original (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3271201#3271201).
I'm just really curious why this isn't a feature in the print options yet. I've used the workaround for years, but I agree with PRL Sean when he says that clearly this functionality is in high demand.
Print shops must be doing this all the time (heck, even photocopiers do this), and I find it hard to believe that they're taking the file and making three copies of same that they can then insert to the original and do "4 pages per sheet." I really wish Adobe would make this easier. No doubt there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of cases where somebody has a one-page doc (a flyer, for example) that they want to print multiple times on one sheet.
I hope for all of our sakes, this happens soon.

To print one photo multiple times on a single page

The title of my question is the title of the page in iPhoto 8 help.
"To print one photo multiple times on a single page"
It says (a bit shortened) 1. Select photo 2. Click print button 3. Select paper size 4. Select print size 5 Click Customize button 6 Click Settings button 7. Select "Multiple of same photo per page from the Photos Per Page pop-up menu. 8 Click OK 9 Click Print.
I can not find the pop-up menu referred to in Step 7. There are two "settings" buttons - neither produce a Photos Per Page pop-up menu. Settings appears if you click a double arrow to the right in the lower margin but only deals with font issues and "Print Settings" does not offer such a pop-up.
I am using Leopard on a PowerBook G4 and just bought and installed the newest iLife 8.
Grateful for help.

Arthur:
When you click on the Customize button there will be a Setting button in the next window. Click on it and in the drop down window that comes up will be the option to print multiple photos of the same photo per page.
Select that option and click OK. You'll get the spinning cursor for a few seconds as iPhoto creates the multiple copies on the page you selected. Be sure that the print size is small enough so that you can have multiple copies of it on the paper size you selected.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Printing multiple images on single page

Can anyone explain how to print multiple images on the same page such as 4-4x6 photos? Or the same image more than once on a page - similar to the N-up option in iPhoto? Anything new and helpfull for printing in 1.5? Thanks.

No, it isn't what we're looking for.
Let's take the example of a professional portrait photographer (me? ) trying to set up a home-lab with a wide format, roll printer.
I get an order for, say, 2 4x5 of image 1, 2 4x5 of image 2, 4 5x7 of image 3. I have 10" paper loaded in my roll.
What I would want to do is gang the prints onto 3 "units" - the 4 4x5 on one 8"x10" unit, and 2 5x7 on each 7"x10" unit.
Since my clients ordered specific sizes, I need to make sure I get the prints sized exactly right (contact sheet tool doesn't let me do this) and since printing is pricey, I want to make sure to waste as little paper/ink as possible. I also don't want to get stuck doing a lot of trimming.
So, in lightroom, photoshop, imagebuddy, portraits-n-prints etc, I would just ask the app to output the package for me. In Aperture, I'm stuck. I can't use the book tool because it uses a (moronically) fixed page-size. I can't use the contact sheet tool because it doesn't let me specify image size/aspect ratio. I can't use the "standard" print tool because it only prints one image per page.
This is a glaring omission, and a slap in the face to the professionals that Aperture claims to see as its target audience.

How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

Printing One Address Multiple Times

Hi All,
I am using the label format portion of Oracle Reports and I am trying to display/print one address multiple times based on the user's input. Is this possible? Any coding example would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.
Michael James

You could pass this value as a parameter to the report and add a where clause to the report that limited the numbers returned based on this parameter. This is essentially what Kevin's doing in his example (the reference to :copies_required).
Incidentally, there's another way to do this without creating a new table of integers. You can get the same result by using the rownum pseudo column (as long as you have a table with at least as many rows as the number of times you want the address to repeat). You can then create one driving query:
select rownum from table
where rownum <= :number_of_copies
and a detail query:
select address from address_table
Link these queries with a group link and generate a default layout. Delete any columns in the 'rownum' repeating frame and run - you should get the address repeated the number of times specified in :number_of_copies.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Problems printing one photo multiple times on a single page

Im trying to print multiple photos on a page so as to not waste paper. I have a 4 X 6 photo and want to print 2, 3X3 photos on the page. If you follow the HELP directions which are
Choose FILE > Print, Select paper Size, in my case 4X6. click on customize, Click Settings button then choose "Multiple of the same photo per page"
The "Multiple photo per page" option is grayed out. After troubleshooting it appears the software is telling me that two 3X3 photos cant fit in a 4X6 inch wide space and wont let me try. I was able to get around the problem by printing two 2.9 inch photos.
The software should be friendlier - Allow me to print 2 photos that are a exact fit to the paper. If the photo needs to be adjusted the software should do the adjustments in the background.
If Im having a problem here Im sure others are too.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Note that this is NOT a reporting path to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback to do that
No one but us users here - and I do not see a question in your post - just a rant and how you found a work around
Note that in general you DO NOT want software to change your specs - if you need a 3"x3" print you do not want the software to change it to 2.9" x 2.9" in the background - if it can not do what you requested then not doing it and having you adjust the request is the most appropriate path IMHO

InDesign CS 5.5 does not print out image, just blank page

I am printing to a Lexmark and when I print something from InDesign it will not print the image out. Sometimes it prints a blank page, sometimes it prints the border of the image, sometimes it actually prints the image. It is very intermittent but the majority of the time it doesnt print the image I am trying to print. I have tried messing with the printers and print drivers but nothing has worked. Is there something in InDesign that is wrong?

As I said, sometimes ID and a particular printer driver don't interact well. Printing directly is not really a primary function from ID and it is what it is. Printing from PDF is faster and more reliable 99.9% of the time, presuming you export the PDF correctly. A good place to start, if you aren't doing color management iin the ID print dialog, would be to use the PDF/X-4 preset.

Printing one image on a contact sheet with different gamma settings

Hi,
I am currently using Aperture 1.1, and I would like to print out a contact sheet of one image (each with a different gamma setting) to my Epson R800 printer. Any idea on how to do this? Also, I seem to be somewhat limited in my printing options, is it possible to print out say two or three images on one sheet?

Not without actually duplicating the intended images for the print.

Balky printer keeps jobs until que and prints one at a time when computer is turned off

6300 printer is holding jobs in a que (sometimes saying it is on "pause") but refusing to print after it is changed to "print". Then suddenly prints one job after computer is put to sleep, sometimes as much as an hour later! HELP!!!

Hi catawba ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some communication issues between the printer and the computer.
Seeing that HP has many models of printers with 6300 in the title, please respond with your printers Model Number:
How Do I Find My Model Number?
Once I get the printer information, I can then do that appropriate research.

Printing one address multiple times on the same label sheet

Does anyone know how to print the same address on all 20 labels of a label sheet. So far I can only figure out how to print 20 different addresses. Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

Greetings,
That's not a feature of Address Book. You can do that with a program called pearLabelizer, which is free. If you want to print groups from Address Book, it pulls the information for you and prints the labels; if you just want to print one address onto multiple labels, you can type it in or paste it in from somewhere, select all the labels and then Print and it will be done for you.

PRINT ENLAGED IMAGE ACROSS MULTIPLE PAGES

I have a scanned image that I want to print at 4 times its original size across multiple pages. Is there any known way to do this?

Thanks for the info, guys.
I don't have InDesign installed. I'll consider installing it, but it's sad that we have to install an entire app to get functionality for Adobe graphics programs that even browsers offer routinely. Jeez, Firefox spans pages automatically.
If you have a graphic larger than the page and you don't opt to resize it, Photoshop should offer to clip the overflow or print multiple pages. And ideally, to print multiple pages with an optional overlap.
I would have thought this was in version 1. But then again, Photoshop didn't have a thumbnail browser until what, version 7?

How to print one line item per page?

Hi,
I have to develop a smartform for printing tags (labels) and i am stuck. My problem is:
If more than one materials are available in one document, one material will be printed per one page. So if three line items are there, three pages of print are there.
Can someone please tell me how to go about it?

Hello Richa,
it all depends if you are printing the Header data or not.
In your case I can recommend a Loop over the items in the Form processing and in each loop step you craete an entire page print out, this should be possible.
If you need to print the header, this could be done prior to entering the loop.
I hope this helps you in finding a solution
Regards

Best way to print an image multiple times on same sheet and not lose quality when doing so

Hello,
I have the full subscription to Adobe Creative Suite, but am unfamiliar with almost all of the programs. I have used Photoshop a bit, but not too much.
I have this project I do several times a year, and am sure there is a better way to do it.
I am sent a colourful excel spreadsheet - a schedule. I print a bunch of copies full size, then need to print 8 copies on a single 8.5x11 piece of paper.
I've tried several methods - but want to know what the best way to retain the best quality would be.
The best I've done (and I'm not totally happy with) is to copy the image into Photoshop, save as a PDF, create 7 more copies then merge as a single PDF and print.
I do find that the quality does suffer a bit.
Can anyone suggest a better way?
Thanks in advance.
Amber

With all the apps at your disposal, that is a long way around. Granted it is hard to not loose quality/data when scaling. But it makes sense to create the document to your liking, then create a new document that is 8.5" x 11" and place the original into it. Then using guides or alignment tools, duplicate that image.
This allows you to have full control over the location of each image, and extra data needed like captions, names, etc. and how that data is formated.
Luckily you have multiple programs that can accomplish this. Some are easier than others, some are more robust than others, etc. In the end it is what you are familar with and how much time you can spend on learning while getting the job done.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign are all your go to programs from creating anything for print and they can be used for other media as well. But that is their strong suite, print.
All three apps have their own dedicated forum on this site, so go ahead and mark them as your favorites as your questions for each need to be in their respective place.
