Trouble printing the correct dimensions.

Hello everyone.Apologies in advance if this a rather basic query. I'm using CS5 on Windows.
I created a photoshop file using the International Paper settings A4, which is 297 by 210 and 150 pixels per inch.
I've used the whole area around the document but I left around a 5mm margin around the edge of the document.
When I come to print the document does not appear to be scaled correctly in the print preview, and then when I come to print on A4 paper measuring exactly 297 x 210 a large part of the image is chopped off at the bottom.
Can anyone explain to me why Photoshop seems to indicate it is a 297 x 210 file but when it comes to printing it is not scaled correctly?
LIkewise how I can fix this and avoid it in the future? Many thanks.
Would be much appreciated.

Generally speaking, if you make your image so that it fits within the printable space on the printer, and don't use the [ ] Scale To Fit Media option, it should print at exactly the right size.  But it will print your image inside the printable space - right up to the edges of it.
I think your trouble is that you're trying to anticipate the non-printable space and put it inside your image.
Figure out what your printable space is, and try making your image just that size.

  • Trouble printing the correct size of PDF doc

    I print large files of legal and letter PDF.  Something changed and now when I queue it all to print, the legal size is not printing the entire doc.  If I queue one page to print at a time, it prints perfectly.

    If this is happening with TextEdit then there is an Apple KB article that states;
    "By default, when you print a document, TextEdit places line breaks at the same places as
    they were on screen. If the lines are too long for the paper you’re printing on, TextEdit
    reduces the size of the font until the lines fit. For example, if the document window is
    very wide, TextEdit must reduce the font size until the lines fit.
    You can have TextEdit keep the font size the same, and change the locations of the line
    breaks instead by selecting "Choose Format" > “Wrap to Page.”

  • Problem with printing the correct "ical" pages.

    G'day
    I have only recently started using "iCal", on the cloud, having upgraded my laptops to "Lion" and my iPhone to "5", so that I have NOT experienced any of the "syncing" problems of which I have read elsewhere.
    BUT, I do have an irritating problem, the solution to which, being a long-term Mac user, should be obvious.
    The problem stems fronm the fact that I am located on the east coast of Australia, and my laptops know this.
    The first, really daft, thing that I did was to create a whole lot of iCal entries, in iCloud, without noticing that the default timezone was "Pacific".
    So, OK, I fixed that by going into my ID on iCloud and changing the timezone, and then editing every single event that I had entered at that point in time.
    So, I then thought that I had beaten the beast, because I had only been printing "Weekly" calendars, which were OK.
    Today, I decided to print some "daily" calendars, and the system WILL NOT PRINT THE CORRECT DATE.
    My iCal entries are mainly to do with a trip that that starts on 1st August this year. I bring up iCal on the Mac, go to the print page, select 01 Aug 2012, and it prints 31 July 2012.
    This happens whether I tick the "Timezone" preference in iCal on the Mac, or not.
    What else should I do?

    Hi Srikanth,
    In the second page you can insert a command to set it to goto page 3,and an additional event in the command (only after the end of main window).
    As soon as the main window ends in the second page...u will get the third and rest of the pages.
    Keep the goto next page in PAge 1 as Page2
    and in Page 2 as Page 2.

  • Printing the correct string...

    Hi guys,
    i've a simple question for you but i'm not able to solve it.
    Ihave a string composed by 5 field separated by whitespace
    and i want to print it with this format
    The first field is a string
    The second,the third and the fourth is a double.
    How can i do this cast before printing the correct string....?
    Please help me with code...

    Hi guys,
    i've a simple question for you but i'm not able to
    solve it.
    Ihave a string composed by 5 field separated by
    whitespace
    and i want to print it with this format
    The first field is a string
    The second,the third and the fourth is a double.So? If it's already a String, then just print it, and everything will get printed. Of course, if that's not what you want, you'll have to provide more detail.
    If you want to split the string up into its pieces, and you know the only whitespace is the separators, then you could do this: String[] pieces = str.split("\\s+"); Read these to learn more about the regex that split uses:

  • Word Stopped Printing the correct current page, prints page #1 instead

    Word 2013 will no longer print the correct current page when asked to do so--it prints page 1 instead.  There is no problem with the document(s) involved as they will print the correct current page with another user.  If you highlight a selection,
    it will print that correctly, except without the headers and footers.  If you specify the section and page numbers, that also works (and the headers and footers come out OK). The print drivers are not the issue as the printer drivers
    in question are on the print server and work as expected for other users.
    Creating a new profile for the user does fix the problem, but only temporarily, in a week to 2 weeks the problem comes back.  I am looking for a simpler solution than creating a new profile every week or 2 for the user.
    I have tried the following steps without any success.
    Deleted all the normal.dotm files from the computer and have
    Deleted the Word Data key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER|SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word.  

    Hi,
    I first suggest you check the printer setting, since the problem may by caused by the incorrect printer mode. We can also try updating the printer driver to the latest to check the result.
    Is the source file is openning in the Compatibility Mode? Whatever it is, please copy all of content from your current document to a new creating docx to check the result.
    If the issue still persists, please try to repair Office from Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Office 2013 -> Change -> Repair.
    Feel free to let me know if you have any other concern.

  • I can't get my Epson Stylus SX438W to work. Has anyone had trouble finding the correct model when installing the driver?

    I am having trouble completing the installation of my new Epson Stylus SX438W Wi-Fi printer. The printer is connected to my network and so is my Mac. I have put the Epson software disc in the Mac and followed the procedure to installing everything that is needed. I am stuck at a point that Epson have not been able to help with, and as advised to ask my router provider whether it does MAC filtering. It does not apparently. Then i have been advised to contact Apple. So that's where i am. The problem is that at the point where i have to add the printer to the printer list the correct model does not show in the provided list, so i hit the "more printers" tab. Not in here either. Epson have guided me through the installation of the latest driver and the prinnter still, does not show up in any lists. We have tried setting it up manually (i believe!, i am far, far from really knowing at all what i am doing). When trying to print a document from Microsoft word all that comes out is jargon on the sheets. Obviously not what i am after. I realise my description may be very unhelpful to you but i am REALLY stuck i don't know what to do now. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. i have attached an image of the screen i have got to if that is of any help and i can get more screen shots etc. if anyone needs them!

    OK, let's try these................ 
    1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.  When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Re-connect your printer. 
    2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1.   Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
    The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
    3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
    Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
    Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
    Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
    ======================
    If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error.  You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

  • What is the correct dimension for Apple TV?

    Can anyone tell me what dimension I need to encode my .mp4 files to so they can be viewed full screen. I have tried using the apple tv mpeg-4 high quality 480P(640*480) profile in my convertor but when I view them it is not full screen.
    IBM Thinkpad   Windows XP Pro  

    They seem to have a PS3 option 720*480. Fingers crossed.I'd be careful here. A 720 x 480 matrix at full square pixel deflection is really a 3:2 (or 1.50:1) aspect ratio. More likely it is the rectangular pixel representation of a 4:3 (or 1.33:1) SD video. In any case, if you try it and the display is rendered with people and objects tall and slender, try simply resetting the aspect ratio to 16:9 (1.78:1) by simply changing the height dimension to 405 and resave the file without additional conversion. (I.e., if you have QT Pro, simply open the "Movie Properties" window, select the video track, and under the "Visial Settings" Tab change the "scaled" height to 405 with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option turned off. Then use the "Save As..." option to save the originally compressed data with new display scale setting to an MOV file container and see if objects now look normal.)
    If all you want to do is test some aspect ratio settings, here are the URLs for two of the PAL EyeTV TV conversions we tested:
    768 x 432
    1024 x 576

  • Why do my file is stored and has the correct dimension but I cannot open it

    hi,
    I want to store an image from an inputStream to my harddisk. The created file (image) has the same dimensions of the original image (8kb), but I cannot open it with photoshop or other image editors. Something is wrong in the data... can you give me some tips ?

  • Why does the persona that I created get very large when I post it even though its the correct dimensions?

    Every time we try and upload our persona, it shows up on screen very large. It seems like the dimensions are oversized and shows up on screen as only about 1/4 of the full design. Its like an extreme close up view of what what we built. We've built it to the specs provided on the site. If you want to check it out, the persona was created by Worth. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Trouble printing out correct colours

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to print out a DVD cover that I've made in after effects (I'm not too good on PS). It's a brown leather book. I've loaded it into PS as a jpg and I've tried to print it out to my printer, but it's coming out really red, almost magenta. The darker spots are especially poor.
    The printer si a HP with 6 ink cartyridges. It's not particularly good, but I expected a better result.
    I didn't really understand all the print options in PS, but tried a few. Most look quite similar.
    I'm printing to some Ryman's own, double sided matte photo paper, but I've also tried other paper.
    I also tried a normal photo and it didn't look too bad.
    Is there anything I can do to try to get a better colour representation?
    here's the image I'm trying to print:
    cheers

    Try using the HP paper that the company recommends for the printer. HP tests their paper with their colors to ensure good a match. Also there should be (not sure) a printing option to select the HP drivers to use for printing and not adobe. Also check to see if RGB is selected for printing.

  • HP C309a All in one Printer - Problems with printing documents the correct size.

    Hi I recently purchased an HP 309a as a replacement for an EPSON printer which had to be replaced a couple of times so I thought I would change manufacturer.
    The HP printer prints well in post places but when I print from Excel on an A4 scale it only prints 3/4 size on an A4 page.  I tried everything to get it to print the correct size.  I have adjusted the settings to scale to A4, print boderless etc and it just will not print correctly.
    It seems to be ok in Word and many other programs so I don't know why there is an issue with Excel.  Iam I missing something, please help.
    Also is there any way to default the printer to A4 automatically instead of 8" x 11".

    I also have issues using this printer with Excel/ Word.
    When I am using Excel or Word I have to remove the HP 309a as my default printer.
    when set as default, excel and word just "hang" for up to 3 minutes when opening or saving.
    I called HP who said the printer works with all other files so basically it's tough. One of their tech guys tried to sort it out but couldn't.
    Has anyone else had this same problem? If so, how was it resolved?
    £300 for a printer that doesn't work with MS. It's not funny and I won't buy HP product again.

  • Finding the correct date to print on the report....

    Hi SAP,
    I've hit a road block and I need someone's help please.
    I have a main report that displays employee hrs worked, work dates based on invoice number.
    I also have a subreport that looks at a specific table that prints the entire employee's rate history.  The employee rate history table contains the rate and the effective date, i.e. 01/01/2008 rate: $100, 04/01/2008 rate: $300, etc.  It can contain many rows of information.
    My problem is that I need to figure out what the corresponding rate should be for the given work date on the main report.  The work date can be any date within the given year so I can't link up the work date from the main report and the effective date on the subreport.
    As an example, say, we take the above rates and effective dates as an example.
    On my main report, if I have a work date of 01/05/2008, how can I pull in the $100 rate from the subreport into the main report?  Similarly, if I had a work date of 04/17/2008 how can I pull the $300 as the rate from the subreport into the main report?  I need to figure out what rate is applicable for each work date.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
    Z

    Raghavendra,
    Thanks for your reply.  However, the only time the subreport prints data is when the main report's work date's month and year equals the subreport's month's effective date and year's effective date.  However, there can be gaps in the effective dates.  An employee doesn't necessarily get a new rate effective each month.  It could be once a year or 7 times a year. 
    So say you have 2 effective dates for 2008, 01/01/2008 with rate $200, and 05/01/2008 with rate $400.  based on your logic, the only time the subreport will print the correct data for this employee's rate is if the work date is in January of 2008 and May of 2008.  But, if this employee has a work date of 03/01/2008 in the main report, the subreport will print a null value.
    How can I overcome this?
    Thanks,
    Z

  • How do you find the pixel dimensions of a photo to embed in Illustrator CC?

    We recently upgraded our software from CS3 to CC. I'm having trouble determining the pixel dimensions of the photo I want to embed in Illustrator. In our old work flow, we simply clicked on the object in Illustrator, and then opened a new document in Photoshop, and it would retain the dimensions at our document size in Illustrator. It was then a simple matter to paste the photo into the box, position and crop and save as a PSD file and then place in Illustrator. That does not work any more in Creative Cloud. The object downsizes to 72 DPI while retaining the resolution setting. We need to keep our Illustrator files to the minimum, so embedding larger than needed files is not possible.
    I've researched a bit and I see others with similar problems, but I haven't seen a workaround or a way to determine the pixel size. Document info in Illustrator gives the 72 dpi pixel settings, even though the document is set to reproduce at 200 dpi.
    This is something that used to be so simple I didn't think much of upgrading. Now my workflow is horrendously long. I have to rasterize the entire graphic and then crop what is the inset photo. If there is a simpler way, please tell me. All the literature is backwards, about placing an already sized PS image into Illustrator. I need the other way 'round.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think I have a workaround: Make sure the clipboard settings are on 72 by cutting and pasting a 72 dpi file in PS, as it seems Illustrator images are seen that way, no matter what the output resolution is. Click on Photoshop and start a new document. It will retain the proportions of the Illustrator image in 72 dpi. Then open image size and make sure the resample box is checked. Change the resolution to the desired, in my case 200.. Then place and crop your photo, and save the PSD file. Open Illustrator and place the PSD file. This works for me.

  • Make java run without printing the stack trace

    I have a GUI program which appears to work for all test cases. Basically what it does is prints out data from a linked list allowing the user to traverse the list with Next and Previous buttons which call a list iterator next/previous method call, and then display the current item in the list. The original problem arose when dealing with alternating calls to next and previous, which since list iterator does not have a current pointer, returned the same element ad infinitum. I modified the method to check for alternating button presses, and it seems to work, except for cases where there are two elements in the list. In this case it still works, printing the correct element, but it also prints to the command line an Exception in Thread AWT...NoSuchElementException. My question is, is there any way to tell the program to not print out this stack trace and just keep running quietly through the Exception?

    I'm not an expert at error handling, but wouldn't it work to put the code that throws the exception in a try/catch block?
    like
    try {
        //code that causes exception
    } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
        //do nothing
    }Might not work, but it's worth a try...
