JohnG Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I am unable to use the full printing capabilities of my HP5000ps with VW9. VW limits my print area to standard sizes and max customs around 60" x 96". I am running OS X with a G4 Mac. Is there an update or a program out there that will allow me to print as long as the spool paper on my plotter? This will GREATLY increase my productivity desire which is why I purchased VW in the first place! Thanks for your replies in advance Quote Link to comment
0 CipesDesign Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Have you tried tiling sheets together using the "SET PRINT AREA" command? Peter Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I think the limit of the length of the page has a direct correlation with the DPI you are printing at. I am getting more information about this question. What DPI are you using to print? Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 The page available in the Print menu is limited to a short integer space of 32768 pixels. To calculate how long you will be able to print when using a specific DPI, you can use the following equation. Pixels/DPI = length in inches 32768 /72dpi = 455 inches 32768 /300dpi = 109 inches 32768 /360dpi = 91 inches 32768 /600dpi = 54 inches That's based on the imaging implementation limit. Windows has a limit of 125 inches no matter what the DPI is. Quote Link to comment
0 JohnG Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 I dont want to have to tile my image, I would prefer to have the printer finish in full length. I have not tried to change the res down to 72, though I will try that and let you know. Thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment
