Final Print Problems Final Print Problems Yes - they are mostly photographs with a header band - and they complain if any oversize is used but they insist on an exact board at the same time. Hoped someone had come across a similiar customer and had sorted the problem - other than with a...

What is the standard expectation on final size of mounted posters. We are being sent net A2 pdf's to print, mount on 3mm board then over laminate. To give a nice clean trim to final board we trim into the print by about 2mm. However this reduces the size to less than 420x594. Customer is...

We also use a HP Z3100 never come across your problem - are you sure it is not just the paper? If the roll does not have torn edges the machine does not have anywhere the paper could come from. Unless of course, when you unpacked it you did not take out all the packaging tapes etc.... Get a...

Also InDesign default page layout to print is top left as per most litho press requirements. Try making sure you are using "centre" page layout to print. No commercial printer will print to edge - you get dirty folllowing pages!

Xerox UK Xerox UK Our problem at the moment is not toner but engineers - it took a total breakdown to get an enginneer to come out in person. Fed up of the usual comment - change drum or such. What happened to the engineer who cleaned all the glass inside & out and all paper paths etc. Yes...

We print for a fair few artists - we use Colortrac/Umax scanners - print to a HPZ3100. Using a variety of papers but the preference seems to be Somerset Velvet 250gsm. It responds well to both water colour paintings and ink drawings and the odd guache. As we sometimes have to print up to A0...

On time On time Is it because as printers we are always the last in line and we dare not tell the customer the truth that he has to wait! Even now when the wet ink has gone and prepress is almost non-existent we still under-estimate the length of time it will take to get to the job in the...

Wouldn't touch microsoft products with a barge-pole - they have no colour control. Also it is not the page creation Indesign can produce a layout of equal dimensions. The get around is the need to keep quality and yet print out to above 3000 x 500mm on a postscript file. In the end we asked...

Forgot to add yes we can create the file - its the print out that's the problem!

Banner Printing Banner Printing We do not have a separate RIP on the HP - would not normally use it but the Canon has just failed! The "postscript" issue I though every one knew - it is a file size/pixcel/length issue which used to be restrictive in all postscript programs. We normally...

Banner Printing Banner Printing We print the roll-ups using the 50% PDF method. But it will not do a 3metre length! Does anyone know if Coreldraw is the answer as it is not actually a true raster program and will allow the creation of any length of banner. Costly to try a proof run!

How do I print an over 3000mm x 500mm on a vinyl paper for a customer on an HPZ3100 - I know there is a postscript restriction so how do I get round it
