Why is the image moving when I print on 300gsm card, but is fine on 160gsm paper?

Hello,
I am printing a double sided invitation for a customer. I am not sure what it was originally set in as I have only been given the pdf up to now. The invite has a thin black line around the writing.
I am trying to put a proof together so they can see it on the colour they've chosen, when I cut it out (using their crop marks) on 160gsm everything lines up nicely, however, when I cut it out from 300gsm I end up cutting either the top or the bottom off as the image has moved. I am sure this is down to the weight of the card but how do I (or the customer) counteract this and what is the term for the issue? (If there is one)
Thanks
Louise

Can you duplex the 300 gsm card inside the machine?
Or are you forced to print one side and then run the cardstock through the machine 2nd time to print the other side?
Double sided heavier cardstock is more problematic than paper and this issue is a common occurence.
Are you using the bypass tray or (if your printer allows it from a drawer?. usually there are limits to the stocks that can be run from drawers on smaller, less expensive machines)
It may help if you make sure the correct media type/weight  and  drawer/bypass tray is selected correctly in your print dialog/print setup.
There may be more than 1 place to select these parameters; check them all
Also check the media/weight setting on the printer itself for the bypass or drawer you are using.
There may be no real solution to achieving perfect registration from front to back on all type of media in your machine.
Good Luck!
Just realized you are printing from PDF. Make sure that Actual Size in selected each time in the print dialog when printing both sides. sometimes it defaults to Fit when you aren't paying attention and this can cause problems.
You wrote: The invite has a thin black line around the writing.
Do you mean they placed a stroked box around the edge of the invitation? This is a no-no. The crop marks should be adequate. A thin stroked box at the trim size will be an invitation to disaster when cutting a stack of printed items, even single sided would be hell, Double sided, forget it. Have them remove the box and just have crop marks. When cutting you will obviously cut off some of the marks which makes it difficult to determine the later cuts.  This is when you get out a ruler to determine the settings you need to make for these cuts using your cutter.

  • Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240?  When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

    What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
    And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

  • Why is the image in iMovie reversed?

    Why is the image in iMovie reversed? My right hand shows as the left hand and what should be over my right shoulder shows as being over my left. I cannot find any info regarding this. When I open iChat the image is oriented correctly.

    it looks stretched taller.
    I think you have Anamorphic material.
    Start a new Sequence. Go to Sequence > Settings and click the Anamorphic checkbox.
    Select a clip in the Browser. Press command and 9. Find Anamorphic in the column on the left.
    Click next to it in the Clip column to place a check mark there too.

  • How to automatically remove the wiki page's images from the Images library , when a wiki page is deleted

    I have noted the following strange behavior inside my Publishing enterprise wiki site collection. Now by default when I create a new wiki page and I add Pictures to it, the pictures will be saved under the “Images” library and will be inside a unique folder
    that have its name similar to the page name.
    But when users delete the picture from the wiki page or they delete the whole wiki page, then the related folder inside the “Images” library will not be removed. So can anyone advice if there is a way to automatically remove the page’s pictures
    folder from the Images library when the page is deleted? as currently i might end up having many pictures inside the Images library which are not linked to a wiki page, and they will waste my server desk space...

    I think, not sure, there's no out-of-the-box solution in SharePoint for this problem. So I can only think of custom solution:
    In event Receiver, ItemDeleting, you can delete images. The only downside is if some other pages are referring the images..... you need to check somehow which is quite time-consuming operations if you have thousand of pages in wiki library
    A timer job, that will run periodically, every day or week, and clean all unused images. 
    Hide the default delete button and add your own. And then using your own custom layout page, show a 'configuration dialog' to user if they want to delete both page and images.
    Thanks,

    Please do not tell me this is not supported out of the ox ,,,,, i that i should handle this process by myself !!! and SharePoint does not support this feature .... this is another  problem i should include in my list .....

  • How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

    how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow.  i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random.  thanks.

    If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
    retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
    shuffe the list properly
    create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
    Here  is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
    on removeItem(ims, i)
      -- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
              if ims is {} then return {}
              if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
              if i < 2 then return rest of ims
              if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
              if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
              return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
    end removeItem
    on shuffle_items(ims)
      -- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
              local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
              set numitems to length of ims
              if length of ims < 2 then return ims
              set ims_shuffled to {}
              set nextrest to ims
              repeat until nextrest is {}
                        set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                        set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                        set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                        set numitems to numitems - 1
                        set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
              end repeat
              return ims_shuffled
    end shuffle_items
    on shuffleIms()
      -- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
      -- and display them in random order in full screen mode
              local imageSel, shuffled, i
              tell application "Aperture"
      activate
                        set imageSel to (get selection)
                        set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                        set fullscreen to true
                        if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  reveal {item i of shuffled}
      delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                        end repeat
                        set fullscreen to false
                        return shuffled
              end tell
    end shuffleIms
    shuffleIms()
    Some more code snippets to go from here:
    To create an album:
                        tell library 1
                                  if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
      make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                                  end if
                        end tell
    And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                        end repeat

    Hi amedah,
    Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
    It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
    Is the PDF scanned?

  • Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

    In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

    ''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
    Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
    '''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    * clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
    There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
    * Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
    * You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
    * "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)
