Running text for canvas printing

I am trying to create a 16x20 canvas to print for my daughters room. What I am trying to do is type her name in a text field in InDesign and have it run without automatically breaking to the next line.
For example, this is what i want to accomplish:
dison madision madision madi
son madison madision madiso
n madison madison madison m
adison madison madison madi
When i try to do this, either InDesign breaks to the next line or it continues and the text disappears completely.
Any help with this would be much apprceciated.
This is the concept i am trying to create:
Thank you,
Jose

There may be other ways to do this, but what worked out involved adding a space between each letter of the name, and en-space between each name, created a character style that applied a large negative tracking, then a find/change to all spaces to apply that character style. Paragraph set to Left Justify in the screenshot. Full justify caused soem recomposition. Either way should work with some tweaking on your part.

Text for Professional Printing

I am preparing a newsletter that will be sent out for professional printing. Will Adobe's "Open Face" fonts work or do I need to download post script fonts from somewhere.
I appreciate your help.

Open Type Face fonts are cross-platform, they work on both Mac and PC. It's better to use these so that when your file changes hands to different platforms, then the font can be installed and used without hassle (in theory).
If you use File>export and choose PDF the fonts will be automatically embedded (depending if it's allowed in the EULA of the font, it usually is but some fonts don't allow it). The font embedded in the pdf is for viewing and printing purposes, unless the person on the other end has that font they can't change the text.
You should send the printers the version of the font that you used anyway, just to be sure. You can use File>Package to collect the fonts you've used. Compress this to a zip folder and send it along with the PDF or the files you're sending to the printer.
Be sure to include any fonts form EPS files too. As the font won't be embedded in EPS.
If you're sending a PDF talk to the printers about what the best settings are and how to proceed with making the pdf, including bleeds, colour profiles, etc.

Making a picture look like a canvas print

Hi
I run an online canvas print company and sometimes for new images we have available I want to create a photoshopped example of how it would look as a canvas print, rather than getting it actually printed and photographing it. I can do this manually but it takes ages so I wondered if there is an easier way, perhaps an action or some kind of plugin that can do it a lot quicker?
This page shows some examples of what I have done in photoshop http://www.fotoviva.co.uk/photos-on-canvas.asp
The best one is the Gallery Wrapped Canvas at the bottom, which shows the image wrapping around the frame - it looks quite real. Ideally it would be useful to be able to create them with and without the wrap to show customers the options they can have.
I tried to create a Photoshop action but the trouble is not all of the images we sell are the same size ratio ie. some are rectangular, some square and some panoramic in shape.
So is there an easy way to create these in Photoshop? I guess it's like making a 2D image into a 3D box in effect.
Thanks

The major 3D packages are overkill for this (in expense, and time to setup/render).
There is alot of software for this on the pc
This one actually has a mac version
http://www.boxshot3d.com/
In your search I would look for one that lets you wrap 1 bitmap image against the front and 4 sides of an extruded rectangle, to save you the time of making separate images for side panels(and you likely have slightly rounded edges on your canvas). I would try the boxshot3d as they appear to have a free trial.

Highlight text for Print

I am trying to find a way to be able to highlight text in a document and and then print it with the text highlighted (as you would when reading an article and marking thru important points with a pen highlighter) Also how would I highlight multiple but different text lines so that they all show? I can't seem to find a key that will allow it. (ie. control or option key)
Thanks for your advice,
Glen

ApleWorks doesn't provide for any method to directly "highlight text for printing," or for display on a monitor, for that matter. The 'highlighting' you see after dragging across a line or block of text is an indication that the text is Selected, and may now be manipulated, but tat highlighting will not appear on a printed page.
You can "place a colour block behind" the text to create an effect similar to running a hi-liter across the text on a printed page, it's fairly easy, and the result will print.
Show the Tools palette (Window > Show tools, or click the red toolbox at the lower left of the document window).
Use the Rectangle tool to draw a rectangle that just covers the text you want to highlight.
Use the Fill formatting button then the color palette to select a highlight colour. Repeat using the formatting button then the color palette to set the line colour to the same value as the fill colour.
Copy the rectangle so that you can re-use it.
Go Arrange > Move to back to place the rectangle behind the (now highlighted) text.
Still in Draw mode (you should have the Arrow mouse pointer—if not, click on the Selection tool {arrow} in the tools palette), Paste another copy of the coloured rectangle, drag it to the next line of text you want to highlight, and adjust the length to cover the text to be highlighted. Move to back as above. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE that these rectangles are not part of the text, but floating objects. If you edit text above the highlighted portion, change fonts or size, or change style (eg. to bold), the text to be highlighted will move, but the rectangles will not. Best to leave this highlighting until you've finished otherwise revising text.
NOTE2: When resizing small rectangles like this, it's easy to change their height when trying to change only their length.
TIP: When you have one the right size for the text size and font you are using, select it, then go Options > Object size... and note the height of the object, reported in the second box in the right column. For subsequent highlight rectangles, after adjusting the length to fit the text to be highlighted, open the Object size dialogue, enter the correct size into the Height box, then press tab to confirm the entry.

Barry

Setting resolution, deciding file type, for very LARGE Canvas prints. 36MP camera.

Okay, so I noticed my lightroom was on 240 PPI resolution. I changed it to 300 because I read 300 was for standard prints. What would I need to set the export to in the resolution box for a very large Canvas?
Is it better to choose Tiff instead of Jpeg for prints of this quality, if not then what should I choose?
I am using a Sony A7R full frame 36.4MP and with some of the sharp Zeiss lens there is really no pixelation that noticeable when I zoom in 100 percent. Of course the A7R is being said to be one of the best Sensors on the market today. It's supposed to be like the Nikon D800E, but apparently it has some advantages.
In other words, I want to export in as high of quality as possible for the Canvas. File size is not an issue.

Changing the resolution setting does absolutely nothing to the digital image. This is a common misconception. The only thing that counts in the digital image is the pixel dimensions. Regardless of what the PPI setting is (240, 300, 600, whatever) the image still has the same number of pixels. To determine what you need for a print of any size it is necessary to multiply the inches by the desired pixels per inch. Suppose you want a 16 x 20" print at 300 pixels per inch. The math would be something like this:
300x16 = 4800 pixels
300x20 = 6000 pixels
So to print a 16 x 20" print you would need an image that is 4800 x 6000 pixels. And the PPI setting can be anything you want it to be because it has no effect on the image.

How to get black text in Aperture for offset printing?

I have a lot of text in my Aperture Books.
60 pages is like 300USD plus from Apple store!
Offset printing for 1000 copies is 3 USD each (and I am happy with that lower quality).
This is what my printer says:
The files for offset print generally should be prepared slightly different
then for digital printing.
I'm talking about the text.
Each black text (on the cover, inside pages, numbers of pages) should be
prepared in one black colour. Now is separated on 4 colours. Of course we can print it as it is but I'm sure that the final effect will
be not good. The black letters will be "fuzzy".
Is it possible to change some settings? (I get the same in Pages when I create PDF:s)
Help!!!

Hi, Stefan
I would suggest talking directly with the person you're going to deliver to and ask them exactly how they want it delivered, for example, fonts, pdf type... they usually have a spec sheet you deliver to and then pick the PDF from the print options in Aperture.

Seeking a driver for my printer to run through my Airport Extreme router

Im trying to find a driver for my Lexmark X1100 series printer which would allow me to run the printer through the usb port of my Airport Extreme router. The printer works when plugged directly into the usb port of the computer. I have a Windows 7 Asus computer. Can anyone help me please. I am using the Bonjour printer wizard to set up the router for the printer. Thanks

There is no driver that will allow that, as this printer only works by connecting it to a host computer, not to a network. No printer driver or software is ever installed to the AirPort Extreme for any printer. Printer drivers and print/scan/fax software (if any) must be installed separately to each computer that will be using a printer.

Just bought pro with new os installed - will not let me run install disk for lexmark printer

just bought pro with new os installed - will not let me run install disk for lexmark printer?

Is that disc for Mac systems or Windows ?
I suggest you visit Lexmark web site and download and install drivers for your exact printer manually.

Just got the HP Envy 100 printer, and the software for the printer is v.10.5 and v.10.6, I'm running on v10.7.2 how do I download the software for HP Envy 10.7.2?

How to print artwork/text for CDs and CD case

I’m posting this in both iTunes and GarageBand, since I’m not sure which is more appropriate.
I want to create sleeves, or jackets, or whatever they’re called for my CD cases. Does anyone know of a good program and materials that would work for this?
I want it to be capable of doing the following:
1) import artwork, and/or a photo, and print it on the front cover;
2) be able to incorporate printed text on, or over, that;
3) be able to include text for the inside of the cover (maybe a small photo or two, or artwork, on that inside cover (to list tunes and instruments played, for example);
4) include compatibility to print on round paper that would adhere to the CD itself...along with some kind of little “thing” that would facilitate placing that, with some kind of adhesive I guess, onto the CD;
5) and, be compatible with OSX 10.3.9 (Panther).
Your advice, suggestions, deeply appreciated.

To print the Jewel case for the CD in iTunes:
1. Create and name the playlist you want for the CD
2. File > Print
3. Select the "CD Jewel Case Insert" button on the top of the window
4. Select the style of CD Jewel Case insert you want from the pop-up list in the bottom of the window and read the description of the style and look at the picture of the style to understand what you'll get.
To print onto the CD itself, you have three choices:
1. The old fashioned round sticky label. There used to be many versions of this software available from many company's complete with software and labels for about $10-$20. These are great for making nice labels, but as mentioned in another post, can throw off the balance of the CD in the player and can in some instances make the CD unplayable. As a result, they're not as readily available nowadays. Try Office Depot or Office Max.
2. Buy a burner that prints directly onto the CD. As mentioned, this can be expensive.
3. Buy a printer which has the "print directly onto CD" option included. This is a little pricer than the average printer, but printers are pretty cheap nowadays so that's not all that bad.

Text Object       EKKO
Text ID              xxxx
Language          &**-SPRAS&
is the data at your end .To simplify more follow the following.
1> go to your purchase order from me23n
2> open any purchase order and click on the terms and conditions text.
3> go to GOTO option of the text.and click on the HEADER.
4> U will find the attributes of the text which you will have to pass to the Include text in your smartforms.
The long texts arestored in STXH table.
Reward Points if useful.

you can delete the retro assignment action for the moment, so you can launch the run for all employees.
As such, you have some more time to debug the issue.
I would activate some payroll tracing, so you know which fast formula throws this error. And then you should dig further, so you can identify the sql retruning multiple rows.
Or you do a sql*trace. That one will also point you to the offensive sql.

HP Laserjet P1102w problem running HTML Config from Printer Utility

I have recently changed broadband providers and was trying to move my HP P1102w printer to the new router so while I was at it I thought I'd check for Software & Firmware updates - there were new ones so I updated both with the printer connected via USB to my Apple iMAC running 10.6.8 and now I can't run the HTML Config via the Printer Utility screens - instead of the normal window you would get I I just get a screen full of the code it's tryingto run e.g. below
I've tried going back to the original software provided with my original installed CD, but no luck - anyone experienced the same and any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Hi @cartian ,
I see that you need to setup the printer on a new network. I can help you with this.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server won't open in other browsers.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the old SSID and IP address are cleared.
(hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac and install the printer software.
(if this is already done then skip this step)
Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and fax.
Double click on the P1102w.
Open the utility.
Click printer setup.
Click HTML config.
This should open the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Click the Networking tab.
Click Wireless from the list on the left.
Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure.
Select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list and then click the << button so the network name moves over to other box.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication , click WEP, WPA/WPA2 or open . Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Make sure you select either hexadecimal or alpha depending on your password. (very important)
Apply the settings.
In the confirmation box (changes have been saved), click OK.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer shortly.
Then all we have to do is delete the USB driver and add the network driver.
Click on the Apple.
Click system preferences.
Click the print and fax icon.
Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (p1102w bonjour)
Test the printer.
If you have any issues with the HTML config opening then do the following steps:
Close any applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected) Apply settings.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer.
If there is anything else that I can help you with just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.
