Hi all,
Im using MacOS X 10.3.7, G5 and Illustrator CS 11.0.0.
I am trying to print a 160cm x 32cm panoramic image onto an Epson Stylus photo 2100 (I believe they call it a 2200 in USA) using 10m by 32.5cm roll paper.
There is a limitation in the Epson print driver which prevents one from printing longer than 110cm by causing errors in the output. Hence I am advised to use the tiling feature in an application which supports it - like Illustrator.
I have configured everything as I believe it correct (details a little later) but on my output I see a hair thing white line between one tile and the next. Documentation does not cover tiling sufficiently to help me out.
The document size is 32cm by 168cm. A photoshop file with the dimensions 32cm by 167.24cm is placed into it. Colorspace RGB
I have defined a custom paper size in the printer's driver page setup of 32.5cm wide and 20cm high. 0cm margins on all sides. The Printers print dialog is set to premium semigloss paper, best quality print option.
General:
Reverese order - off
Collate - off
Pages - all
Skip blank pages - on
Media:
Size - defined by driver
width 32.5cm height 20cm
Orientation - portrait.
Options:
Print layers: Visible and Printable Layers
Do not Scale - on.
Setup:
Crop Artwork to - Artboard
Placement:
OriginX 0.25cm OriginY 0cm
Tiling - Tile Full pages
Marks and Bleed:
All printers marks - off
Trim marks - off
Registration marks - off
color bars - off
page info - off
Printer Mark type - Roman
Trim mark weight - 0.5pt
Offset - 0cm
Bleeds - 0.01cm all sides
{Should I be adding larger bleeds to make it print over the hairline gap between tiles???????? What size??}
Output:
Emulsion - Up (Right reading)
(Other options greyed out NA)
Graphics:
(options greyed out NA)
Color management
Source = untagged RGB
Advanced:
Overprints - discard
Preset - high resolution
IF anyone can give me more pointers for printing with tiling and what precisely the bleed option will achive please let me know
Many thanks in advance
Toby
