Very New to Graphic Design and Printing

Hi - I have recently gotten into graphic design for print...invitations, etc, and I purchased an Epson R1900 for my studio.  This is my first printer purchase and I am also very new to CS5 (self-teaching over the last 2-3 months).  So, you can only imagine my printer frustrations...first I had color management issues (still do, but much closer than before due to online research) and now I am trying to load custom paper and print from Illustrator (also using Mac with OSX 10.5.8).  I keep getting a message saying "The source selected in the printer driver is not appropriate for the paper that is loaded in the printer."  What is going on?  I can't have printer issues every time I go to print something!!!  Please help me! 

In your Applications folder there should be an Epson Printer Utility. You need to change to the custom size there at the driver level and then again in your print dialog when printing the file.
Many problems with Epson Printer Drivers. In my case I could never get the printer utility to show up on my Mac (even after updating drivers, resetting my printers, troubleshooting with Epson, etc). I finally gave up and started using my PC to print to this printer, so I could change to custom size and roll fed.
Good luck.

    ok.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I am new to photoshop.  I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work.  How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is...  Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

    The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only.  After that, the software ceases to work.
    CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe.  It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
    Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
    What kind of "designer" uses it?

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

    Farooq,
    If you look at the first one, you should be able to align quite easily as follows, View>Smart Guides being your friends:
    1a) ClickDrag the top flower with the Selection Tool (black arrow) so it is clear of the pointy part;
    1b) Click an empty spot on the Artboard to deselect, then ClickDrag the top flower by its bottom Anchor Point (Smart Guides say anchor when you are close enough to grab it) down to snap to the top Anchor Point on the pointy part (Smart Guides say anchor when you are close enough);
    1c) Do the same for the boroom flower.
    If you look at the third one, to get the triangles and the hexagon sized and aligned precisely, you may, creating them with stroke and no fill:
    3a) Click with the Polygon Tool and select a suitable/chosen Radius and 6 Sides, then Object>Transform>Rotate by 30 degrees (or use the Rotate option in the Transform palette), you may Object>Transform>Reset Bounding Box to have it look nicer;
    3b) Click with the Polygon Tool and select the same Radius and 3 sides, then deselect and ClickDrag the top Anchor Point to snap to the top Anchor Point of the hexagon;
    3c) Object>Transform>Rotate by 180 degrees clicking Copy, deselect, and ClickDrag the bottom Anchor Point to snap to the bottomAnchor Point of the hexagon;
    3d) Select all and Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group (for alignment purposes, you will know why if you try without grouping, see below).
    To create full symmetry, you may use circles rather than almost circular ellipses; you may:
    3d) Click with the Ellipse Tool and select a suitable/chosen Width = height;
    3e) Object>Transform>Move a copy vertically by the Height (= Width) twice (or you may Ctrl/Cmd+D to repeat), to get three circles over one another with no gaps;
    3f) Select the topmost and bottommost ones and Object>Transform>Rotate a copy by 120 degrees twice, to have all the seven circles precisley touching one another; you may Group them, but it is not necessary.
    To have everything aligned, just:
    3g) Select everything and click Vertical Align Center and Horizontal Align Center in the Align palette; you may click the pointy group or the circles ojnce more before aligning if you want to keep it in place (that will make it the key object that the other set is aligned to).
    These ways may also help you further.
    Edit: About half an hour after midnight here. High time to attend to other duties, before the sun is up.

  • Design and print personal checks

    Hi,
    I would like to design and print my own personal checks, including using my own photos as background. Does anyone know whether Pages will do this, or if not, some other reliable software?
    Thanks very much!

    Not true. Magnetic ink was used before OCR (optical character recognition) was cheap and accurate, it has nothing to do with fraud. Anyone can purchase MICR ink online or at office-supply stores such as Staples, OfficeMax, etc.
    Nowadays, most banks use optical scanners anyway, so you may not even need it.
    Anyone can print their own checks, no "registration" required.

    Hi GabreilKnight;

  • HT1947 Help!  I'm very new to my iphone and i think i might have accidentally deleted Facetime from my phone I dont have the icon anymore but my settings tell me  have it.  What do I do to get it back on my phone?  Thank you!

    Help!  I'm very new to my iphone and i think i might have accidentally deleted my Facetime although my settings tell me I have it.  How do i get it back on my phone?  Thank you.

    Built-in apps cannot be deleted. However, there never was a FaceTime icon on the iPhone. FaceTime is accessed by selecting a contact in the Contacts app, and then selecting FaceTime. The same can be done from the Contacts tab in the Phone app.

    Click on one of the templates
    Make sure "Edit Panel" is selected and not "Page Preview"
    Delete whatever isn't needed
    Drag and drop a jpg image via Finder to the Panel
    You can stretch the jpg to size and shape as needed
    Can also add

  • New to the Design and Animation

    I am looking to become a freelance Artist not for animation but Graphic Design and Illustrations. Also what are some good Software programs to render 3D animations and there price range?

    There is a reason why Illusion Mage does not appear on that Wikipedia article.
    Illusion Mage is the free (GPL) Blender 3D, 'repackaged' and sold to clueless people.
    The seller of Illusion Mage has done a good job of keyword spamming Google with articles that look like they are questioning Illusion Mage as a scam. But if you click on those articles, you see bogus glowing reviews that lead to the Illusion Mage web site. 
    Here are links to truthful information and reviews about Illusion Mage. Illusion Mage is a scam.

    Illusion Mage is not "used by animation studios worldwide" because animation studios would not be so stupid to purchase software that is already free.
    Terry, I would report your post to the moderators to remove as spam but the Adobe forums are ranked highly on search engines. It may have been your worst mistake to mention Illusion Mage here. You've just given yourself and Ilusion Mage some bad internet publicity.

  • Graphic Design and Adobe Products

    I am a graphic design student, graduating in about a year. I maxxed out my MBP's ram and bought my first mac in hopes that it would be a great tool for graphics. I see that photoshop and illustrator (adobe tools) are running through rosetta and haven't yet (or will be?) been ported.
    My question is this, will this machine be the right tool for graphics work? Im pretty concerned about this and really didn't think twice about it when i ordered - i figured adobe products would work flawlessly, as they always have.
    any ideas? (ie, try to make me feel somewhat better?)

    Word on the street is that Photoshop under Rosetta is useable, but a tad slow for really heavy work. Not great news, but that an application like Photoshop works acceptably on a completely different processor than what it was written for is a minor miracle. The only real way to know for sure that it will meet your needs is to give it a go.
    The good news is:
    - you made the right choice in maxing out the RAM
    - Rosetta apparently gets quicker with age due to caching
    - If the MBP sells well, Adobe is likely to bring forward a universal version of PS (send them feedback to let them know that you are interested in a universal version)
    If you do find that PS performance is not acceptable you have a few (not great) options:
    - return the MBP for a PB G4 or G5 iMac/Powermac (you will get better performance from PPC native versions of PS, but performance is not likely to be as good as the MBP when a universal version of PS is released and the MBP is likely to be a better long term investment)
    - try the new universal binary version of GIMP
    Other more experimental options to try if you get desperate:
    - try running older windows versions of PS (I think v 5 works) under Darwine
    - try running more current Windows versions on a virtual PC (only current (and messy) option is to boot into Linux and use VMWare, but I expect there will be other options before we see a universal PS: intel version of iEmulator is apparently due out shortly and I suspect that a VMWare for OSX intel won't be too far off)
