Printing :: Getting Right Size
I created a document in photoshop cs3 and cs4 @ 7wX11h inches @ 300 dpi. When I go to print it the image it prints about 3/16ths too wide.
I'm printing from a home printer just to show the client the product. Then i want to send to a printer for production. I need to get the sizing right!

Printing One To One (size As)
how I can print an image at one to one so that the print is at size as. I believe there is a quick way of calculating this in PS but unsure where to begin. The image which will contain a ruler as a point of reference needs to be printed at its actual size.

Previwing And Printing Size On An Image
I am working on an graphic email that is going to be sent out to different companies. I got the image size down enough to be a decent email size. Problem is that I am working at 300dpi in order for the small text on the prints to be legible. Ok now I am using 8x10 inches as size but at 300 dpi is way bigger in pixels so when I insert it into the email the images is huge. what I am trying to do is: I want the view size to remain at about 8x10 but I want the dpi to remain at 300 for printing quality

Printing / Resolution / Document Size
I was designing a membership card for a company and set a resolution of 300 and I can't remember what document size I set originally. Anyway, my sizes now are as follows: Pixel Dimensions: W 700, H 410 Document Size: 5.93cm X 3.47cm Resolution: 300 pixels/inch When I save my psd as any image type, my image is MUCH bigger than 5.93 x 3.47. How can I save it so that it is the size I want, but still the good image quality (resolution) and so I get the same size when I print it.

Printer Not Printing Correct Image Size
i'm having a problem with printing an image i made in photoshop. I made the image on my laptop with the dimensions of 9.25 inches by 4.25 inches. I cant print from the laptop so i uploaded the image to a site downloaded it onto my dads to print it out except it prints out way smaller like less than 7 inches instead of 9. I've turned the page landscape so I know it's not that. my idea right now is to set up a network so i can print it directly from photoshop on the laptop. Sadly my laptops cd drive doesn't feel like working and i cant find my flash drive.

Photo Printing - Not Printing To Border
i've tried both borderless and non, I've also realigned by cartridges and updated drivers and program. When I'm printing with Photoshop CS, didn't do it on 6.0, it's not printing properly at all. It's not printing to the edges of the paper (4x6) and the space it's leaving on all sides isn't even. If I choose borderless it's even worse and if I print a larger picture on 8.5 x 11 and pick center, it's not even close, I'm talking inches off.

Image Size Related To Print Size
I'm using Photoshop 7. I create a new document 8.5 x 11 inches at 150 pixels per inch. I draw a circle 1" from the top of the image. The circle is 3" in radius. When I print the circle is nearly .25" smaller in radius and slightly less than 1" from the top. Why is the output not in the same placement and proportions as the image on the screen?

Canvas Size + Resolution= File Size?
Can someone please explain to me about file sizes and image dimensions. I have to put together a collage which is 165mm high by 258mm wide. If I click file new and choose default resolution (72) then the file size is ok, if I type in 300 dpi the image becomes huge. If i chosse 300 dpi then the images I was going to use seem tiny on such a vast workspace - Im confused why does the canvas become so large when changing resolution?

Working Size Vs. Print Size
The rule of thumb for traditional illustration work is to do the original about 1/3 larger than it will be printed to allow for some tightening up. My question is, when working in photoshop at 300 dpi, is there any reason to work larger than the print size?

Image Size, Canvas Size...
I have a created a new PSD that is 8 1/2 x 11.The canvas size is the same 8 1/2 x 11.I want to put a border around the picture (say 1/2 of an inch all around), and put the finished picture in a Picture frame. After it is in the frame, you would be able to see the entire picture plus the border. Q. Should I change (reduce image size) of the PSD to (for this example), 8 x 10 1/2.     Then increase the canvas size to 8 1/2 x 11. After I increased the canvas size, do a Paint Bucket fill with white (to create the White border)? then print the changed size PSD on 8 1/2 x 11 paper so that it will fit into a 8 1/2 x 11 picture frame I realize I could have just created the new PSD to be 8 x 10 1/2 in the first place.

Poster Size & Paper Size
I am making an independent film. And I've decided to use Photoshop to make the Poster...but theres one problem. We'll...3 actually. Hopefully someone could help me out and I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you can only answer one, I will still greatly appreciate it. 1. What would be the coordinates if you want to make a Poster? 2. How about a full paper. What size does the Photoshop picture got to be to fit a piece of paper perfectly? 3. How about DVD covers? Either just the front or the front and the back.

Image Size Vs File Size
 When I save a file to jpeg the image size in photoshop remains the same as it was as a tiff file BUT according to the information that comes up in windows properties the file is much smaller (300k vs 2.9mg).  Can you advise me which is the correct file size?  If the correct size is the one showing in windows (300K) does mean that the file compressed in JPG and lost a lot of information?  and if this is the case how can I prevent that from happening and still save the file as a JPG?  [ I would like the image to remain the size photoshop shows it to be] . Thank you very much.

Printing With CS4
I just bought the PHOTOSHOP CS4, and I am having problem when it prints. The image is not clear, it has dots (pixels). This computer where I installed this program is brand new. I have previously worked with Photoshop CS2 and never had an issue but was force to buy this new one because the computer that I bought has Windows Vista and CS2 is not compatible. I thought maybe the problem was my printer but is not I have a Brother HL-5140 (black and white). I have connected my old computer with the printer and the images print perfectly fine. I have printed photos and it prints clear. But this only happens with Photoshop CS4. It prints dots,

Printing In CS4
I have just started using CS4, having upgraded from CS2. When I go to print in the print dialog box and go to the Printer Profiles box I am unable to see or select my paper profiles for my Epson 2200 and R300 printers. There is a large number of profiles, primarily various color spaces, but only one paper profile for my Epson 2200. There also isn't any arrow or other way to scroll through the display to see the missing paper profiles. All of the missing profiles are the standard paper profiles provided by Epson either with the printers or from their website. Do I need to reinstall these profiles in some way in CS4 or is there something else I should be doing to be able to access these profiles?

In CS3 you could print multiple images on a sheet like a photo studio by going to File-Automate-Print Package and in CS4 that option isn't there and I can't find any information on it.

CS3 Printing
Tried to print a 10ft panoramic landscape with CS3 on an Epson 1290 with disastrous results. Only prints about 4ft then aborts. Worse still what it did manage to print was 5ft of the the panorama compressed into that 4ft, the width had been compressed by my assessment as much as 15/20%. Previously had no problems with CS2 so I have had to reinstall CS2 to effectively do all my printing (especially long landscapes). Even gone to the extent of reformatting computer and reinstalling everything from new. So Adobe can you please tell me what good is it or the point in releasing a program that you cannot trust to print? I don't trust Photoshop CS3 to do any of my printing anymore, not even A4 or A3 sizes.

Printing
I use photo shop for everything on our company, from designing websites and multimedia screens to art that will get printed. The company uses a SAVIN C3535 for our printed material, and it used to get us really good print quality...until now. When I print stuff directly from Photo shop it creates a weird "cutout" effect on the pictures (people and logos mostly) and creates like a black "noise" surrounding any black text in my art. Color text and shapes print out fine. Anything with tones looks bad. If I send the same file to print to different printer, it looks awesome! Obviously it is the printer...Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? i already contacted the printers' tech support, but they haven't been able to fix it (they keep blaming photo shop)

CS3 Printing @ 500% In...
This is with resample off, so the final product will be printed at 200ppi. As part of our (forensic) workflow, we print images at 500%. There are different ways of doing this, but some people in the office specify this in the Print Preview Pane, whereas I do it directly to the image in PS before going to print. After switching to CS3 from CS, it was noticed that 500% for a 1000ppi image (physically less than 36mm X 24mm at 1:1) was being limited to a bit less than 400%. An error box would pop up saying the value must be between 0.00% and XXX.XX%... and it would automatically select the maximum in the range. For a 1000ppi original image, the upper range would be around 370%. I tried it with a 2400 ppi image (5MB) and was limited to ~150%. Apparently this is not a specific number, but some sort of resolution-based maximum. The printer used for output doesn't appear to matter as we've tried a couple of different ones. Is there some sort of maximum percent of image size allowed for printing, based on resolution that can be selected in the Print Preview Pane?

Printing On OS X
I am transitioning from OS 9 to OS X and am running into some problems with printing. I am using a G4 mac DP, 1.25 Mhz. and an Epson Stylus Photo 820. and I'm running both systems on my G4. I had been using PS 7 with OS 9 and printing out pictures without any problems but I recently downloaded the Try out version of Adobe PS CS2 and decided to use it to print out some of the pictures on OS X. In the Print Preview the options were set to let the printer determine colours. When that was OK'd the next print page showed only the printer and the presets which said Standard. The problem I'm having is that the picture takes less than a minute to print and is of poor quaility compared to printing the same picture on OS 9 with PS 7 which takes maybe 2 or 3 minutes. The printer is printing at 300 dpi on OS 9 but i'm not sure what it is printing at on OS X. Not sure how to check that with OS X. Like I said earlier I'm not that familiar with OS X yet.

PPI Vs DPI And Printing
if I understand PPI and DPI correctly. PPI dtermines the actual reoslution of the picture and DPI really determines how much ink the printer will spray per inch as it prints out. So I guess I would like to know if anyone has suggestiosn to these three questions. 1. When scanning an image in, does DPI Actually refer to PPI? If so, what DPI/PPI shoudl I scan at. 2. In photoshop cs3 does the "Pixel Demenssions" section refer to PPI and the actual DPI section refer to the DPI setting for the printer? 3. What would be the best PPI and DPI settings for printing out the 3foot by 2foot poster?

Printing In Lab...
I have a document thats currently in CYMK color mode, and I'm having difficulty finding satisfactory colors. I was advised elsewhere to abandon CYMK. I therefore want to convert my image into to LAB color mode. I've read that converting from one color mode to another can cause layers to look funny, however I need to retain some of my layers... Do you guys typically have problems with this? In retrospect I should have STARTED in Lab... Seems that converting from CYMK to LAB wouldn't be as problematic as converting from LAB to CYMK... The key question is this: will my printer (Epson R800) even be able to print in LAB mode? I thought yes, or at least closely... because it has much more than CYMK to work with... it has these cartridges: #1 Blue UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054920 #2 Cyan UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054220 #3 Gloss Optimizer UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Cartridge T054020 #4 Magenta UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054320 #5 Matte Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054820 #6 Photo Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054120 #7 Red UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054720 #8 Yellow UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge Finally, in the print screen menu should I be "letting photoshop manage colors" or letting "printer manage colors"? Do you guys have any other tips on how to tweak printer/photoshop settings/preferences to maximize the accuracy of my colors? Would I possibly be better off just using RGB?

Printing DPI & PPI
I'm making a billboard ad for a friend using CS2. The dimensions are around 14'x6'. The printing company hasn't been much help for me. They usually print basic vector graphics and they don't worry much about distortion. The most they could tell me was that they print at 150 DPI and that I can make my image at half size and they'll blow it up.. I'm very worried about distortion as it is an elaborate pixel based graphic. However, I'm having much trouble working at this huge resolution. Major disk errors and massive loading times between tasks (even with 200gb free disk space and 4gb ram). So, I'm wondering is there any lower resolution I can work at without losing quality here? The printing company hasn't been very helpful here, and I'm having trouble avoiding distortion even in photoshop alone at this rediculous resolution. Thanks if you can offer any advice here, I just feel as if I'm making it harder for myself than it should be. ps I know how to work around the disk scratch errors,

Printing Sizes
I recently made a poster which was taken to the printers, the printer said that my file was not the correct size, i had made the image to the A1 dimensions but when it printed it was much smaller on the page, they said the file wasnt the right dimensions but they can stretch it to fit, so what is wrong, is there another setting i should have used because i thought if you made the picture to the A1 dimension or to any dimension you wanted then it would print in that size?

Printing Cyan In Rgb
I am currently doing a sepia project in photoshop cs2. I've been printing everything in RGB because I've been able to achieve better results for the project this way. Recently I tried breaking down my photos into separated colors. Yellow, Black, and Magenta turn out fine. Cyan on the other hand comes out as a blank page. As a test I tried doing a cyan strip which came out fine. I also tried using the picture in CMYK. Cyan worked here as well. I would convert all of my pictures to CMYK but it would change the complete turnout of my project.

Standard Vs RIP Printing From PS
I have been totally frustrated with print quality from my Epson 2200 using OS X, CS, ColorSync, etc. The level of wasted ink and paper making test runs is simply unacceptable. The standard print drivers, I assume, are the weak link in the chain. How crucial is RIP s/ware to good prints? They're terribly expensive (ie, RIP drivers), is there another way?
