Just following on from this - If you go to www.clubprint.ie you'll see the type of posters I'm designing. The measurements have to be exact as I've got a sheet of perspex with the centre cut out, which covers the sheet exactly. As explained, I'm having hassle with the print outs. The guys doing...
I'm trying to create a document that has no borders. I have an existing template that measures 1130mm x 830mm (w x h). All I need from the template is the centre piece which measures 1100mm x 800mm. Normally I convert this file to a PDF and get it printed out in town. I cut the excess border...
By the way - I know the problem isn't on the Printers side because I emailed the PDF to my friend & it printed out on his side with the very same lines.
I've got Windows & am exporting a Quark 6.5 File to PDF. It works fine and looks perfect on screen. The picture I'm printing out is roughly 16cm wide x 5 cm in height. There's a series of horizontal lines that run across the picture. It's really only as I hold the page up close to my eyes that...
Cheers for the help Andrew. Brought my laptop down to the local Cartridge World and hooked up to one of their printers. Printed out fine - so yep, the problem was with my printer.
Thanks Andrew
It's on Automatic at the moment - it chooses from the Profiles - The only one in the box is sRGB Color Space Profile.
If I click on Manual the Default Color Profile is also sRGB Color Space Profile.
This is still causing me a load of heartache. My Colour Management is not active in Preference. I activated it and tried using different versions of RGB. Same result each time with some of the colours printing incorrectly. I made a PDF file of the poster and printed it out on an A4 page. I gave...
Sent on the file to a buddy of mine. He printed it off and it came out fine on his side. Any ideas what settings I should check on Quark or on my printers side which could fix this problem. Thanks.
It's a HP Deskjet 5552. I used the yellow settings, defined in Quark. That was giving me a greenish colour so I've been editing it (based off the various versions of yellow given in Photoshop)
Thanks for that Mark - I must have sent my reply in at the same time as you. I'm probably making my problem out to be more complex than it is. The ads I put together for the businesses are really, really basic. The one that's causing me problems is simply a box sized ad, 16cm x 5cm. In Quark...
I wasn't sure what to look for when you mentioned "Color management issues". Anyway, followed it up. "...the process by which you try to match color conditions in a set of devices (e.g., scanner, monitor and printer). These devices produce color using different methods; therefore, they may...
The reason I use RGB is because it all looks washed out when I use CMYK. The RGB looks really sharp. I'll read up on setting up colour profiles. Thanks.
I'm new to this design game but have managed ok in the last 6 months. I sell ads to local businesses on behalf of local sports clubs and design them myself. You can see the results on www.clubprint.ie. A friend of mine showed me the basics and put a template together for me. Most people aren't...
I’ve been using Quark Xpress Passport 6.1 for about a week. I’ve got the PC version. I’m designing posters from advertising spaces that I sell to local sports clubs (www.club-print.com) I’ve got a template (was provided to me by the guy who used to design my posters), into which I place 29...
I’m new to Quark. I’ve got Version 6, am using a PC and have Windows XP. I’m having problems saving the layout as a PDF file. I’m trying to setup a Post Script Printer. I’d never heard of this until today. I’ve set up a Virtual Printer - it’s the HP Printer I use for Printing. My problem...
I've got my own business set up - www.club-print.com. In the past I've got a graphic designer to design posters for me. He's got a template that he put together using Quark on the MAC. I sell ads and they take a space on the poster. I collect Business Cards, Brochures etc and put the ads...
