Why does my artwork print slightly larger than actual size? - MacOS 10.9.2

I have an issue which I have no answer. Every time I print an artwork for product mockup, say a 3x5 card, it prints slightly larger than a 3x5 card. I have to manually scale my artwork down to 98.5 in the print dialog to get as close as possible to the actual size. Its not related to a specific printer. I have an HP printer and a Canon printer and the issue exists exactly the same between the two. I'm running Illustrator 17.1 on an iMac running MacOS 10.9.2. Can you please help make this easier for me?

Wayne,
Are you using PostScript printer drivers (or at least PostScript emulation)? Non PostScript drivers may behave a bit like gremlins.
What happens if you Save As or Print to PDF and then print from that using the actual size/no adaptation to paper size?

Why is my iPad print is larger than PC print.

I print from my PC and 1 page is printed but when I print from my iPad 2 pages are printed for the same print job. The iPad appears to enlarge the print job slightly, does anyone know why? Or how to modify the print settings. I also downloaded the Printer Pro app and tried to print through the app and had the same results.

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and until you see the silver apple. See if that helps.

Why does my background pic look larger than it should and is not as clear as the original?

When islet a pic as background it says I can adjust size, but cannot in fact the pic gets larger and not as clear, this started with IOS7

This is due to the parallax effect in iOS 7. As you tilt the phone to the left or right, the background image moves with it, to give the home screen an illusion of depth.

Problem with printing graph larger than screen size in labview6 (plots are shopped).

I have attached with my message the report I try to print. It is a Labview 6 vi.
I had no problem with Labview 5. But with Labview 6, the plots are shopped (all the rest of the report is correct). What is printed is not what I see.
The graph is intentionnaly built very large, then rescale to fit page, in order to improve the print quality of the plots. I repeat it, it worked fine with Labview 5.
Thanks if you can help.
Lionel.

Hi Lionel,
I experienced a similar problem days ago: re-compiling a vi from LV 5.1 to LV 6.0.2 its front panel could not be printed anymore; no error, just a blank sheet.( The mass compile procedure did not reported any error).
The only way to get out from this headache was to re-build the vi in LV 6.0.2, I simply selected all its diagram and copied it in a new vi, saved it and I got print-outs!
Try it.
Good luck,
Alberto

Image button imports much larger than actual size

I have a lot of custom image buttons in my Captivate project. I am now trying to scale them down in size, to reduce overall file size of my project. Some of my custom png images show up as 100 px in Photoshop, then when I import them into Captivate, they stay the same. However others, that show as 100px in photoshop, are importing in at 400px! Any ideas why this would happen. The original set was 400px. But I have overwritten the files with smaller ones in the gallery and re-inserted them - but still no luck. Thanks.

Hi
i am posting this again due to lack of response. Its urgent. so i will really be thankful to anyone who can help.
My application prints out cd labels. As i checked the width of a cd label is 12.5 cm which is 472 pixels. Now when i set component size to 472 pixel and print just that component, the out put seems to be much larger. like it covers almost 90% width of a A4 page. My code is like this:
I want to print LabelContainer
private function print():void
     printjob = null;
     printjob = new FlexPrintJob();
     LabelContainer.printDataGrid.selectedIndex = -1;
     try{
          if(printjob.start()){
               datamodel.showTitles = false;
               printjob.addObject(LabelContainer,FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
               printjob.send();
               datamodel.showTitles = true;
     }catch(e:Error){
          Alert.show(e.message);
can some one please help me. I really dont understand this.

I cannot print anything larger than a 4x5" from LR4 to my Epson 3880

No matter what I do I cannot print pictures larger than a 4x5" image from LR4 to my Epson 3880.
I have doublechecked all of my settings in the page and print sections. I have even watched various internet training on printing from LR4 including Matt Kloskowski in Kelby Training....all to no avail.
I have absolutely no problem with printing in PS CS6.

The problem continues to be exporting a photo from IPHOTO to PE 9 organizer
Why do this? You're just making life harder. If you want to use iphoto as your image manager, don't use organizer, or vice versa. If you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, set up PSE as your external editor there, or export the photos to the desktop, save the edited photos as new images and reimport them to iphoto. Using both only makes your life harder and creates problems, as you've discovered.

Why does my artwork disappear from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it disappears.

Why does my artwork keep disappearing from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it when I copy over new albums with artwork, the artwork on the albums already on the ipod lose theirs, although they retain the artwork if viewed through itunes.
In case it matters, I don't "sync" my "library". I have a I have a PC and copy over directories containing albums of MP3 files by dragging them onto the ipod with itunes. I also tried pulling over only the files and not the directories.

OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem. I did a "restore", wiping out the contents. I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist".   Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod. Every song and album now had the proper album art. I could live with this.   Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced". The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork. The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which. AARGH.   I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover.   I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.

Why does Java have such a large footprint?

I've been curious about this topic for a while, but I haven't ever looked into this to any depth. I also posted this to stackoverflow but haven't gotten any solid responses so far:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1107991/why-does-java-have-such-a-large-footprint
Java - or at least Sun's Hotspot JVM - has long had a reputation for having a very large memory footprint. What exactly is it about the JVM that gives it this reputation? I'd be interested in a detailed breakdown: how much memory goes to the runtime? (The JIT? The GC/memory management? The classloader?) Anything related to "auxiliary" APIs like JNI/JVMTI? The standard libraries? (Which parts get how much?) Any other major components?
I realize that this may not be straightforward to answer without a concrete application plus VM configuration, so just to narrow things down at least somewhat: I'm primarily interested in default/typical VM configurations, and in a baseline console "Hello world" app as well as any real-world desktop or server app. (I'm suspecting that a substantial part of the JVM's footprint is largely independent of the app itself, and it is in this part that I'd like to zoom in, ideally.)
I have a couple of other closely related questions:
Other similar technology, such as .NET/mono, don't exhibit nearly the same footprint. Why is this the case?
I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
Are there any efforts (JSRs, whatever) to tame the memory footprint? The closest thing I've come across is a project to reduce the on-disk footprint of the JVM [1] and to modularize the standard library [2].
I'm sure that the footprint has varied over the past decade or so with every new version of Java. Are there any specific numbers/charts chronicling precisely how the JVM's footprint has changed?

Presumably versus some other VM. I would suppose the fact that much of the VM is written in java has something to do with it.

Not sure I agree with that. What size do you see with a .Net app that uses 3.0/3.5?
I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
Good question. There is a feature that allows multiple VMs to use the same memory footprint version of the loaded libraries. That is a new feature and it isn't clear to me if it covers the entire API. I do not know if that is dynamically built.

Why would an alias file be larger than the original file?

I have a simple document that is 106kb. When I create an alias to the file, the alias is 133kb. Why would the alias file be larger than the orginal file when the alias file is simply a redirect to the original file?

Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

reboot the router (and the printer).
If still happening, check your router settings. Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

You know what - I'm sorry
I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
I am officially embarrassed

How to display graphics larger than canvas size?

How do I display graphics larger than canvas size in Java AWT?
I tried setting the canvas size() to a value larger than my monitor size, and then adding scroll bars to the canvas, but the scroll bars and the canvas won't go beyond the monitor size in pixels, which is only 800, so the large graphic I try to display gets cut off at the bottom.
How can I overcome this problem? Has anybody encounter a similar dilemma before?

There are more third party accessories available for iPhones than any other phone, best I can tell. It seems not unreasonable to expect that there will be a similar market for Apple Watch accessories.

Printing small pictures at actual size

I am using a photosmart premium C309a printer and I m,eed to print some small pictures (approx 1 x 1.5 inches) onto 4x6 inch photo paper. How can I do this and not have the software automtically try to blow up the image to 4 x 6?

He photographed as before ....
just when you click on the photo and choose "send mail", before you could choose to send the small/medium/large and actual size. Now have no choice and he 2Mega photo send like very small size 104k
